My 55

[missionsix66]

I've got a 55 gallon reef with a cpr 194 sump with integrated skimmer. I have removed the bio-balls and replaced with LR. I do not use any chemical/mechanical filters(unless you want to count my skimmer as mech.) I have my sump sitting inside of a 20l tank flowing out through bulk-head into my fuge. I don't add supplementation. I use water changes with, IO's Reef Crystals, to replenish used up goodies. I keep my evaporation supplied with an aqualifter on an airline valve dripping once every 3 seconds to keep a little over one gallon/24 hours at bay. I use an odysea mh lighting set-up. Fish list: Small Yellow tang, six-line, maroon clown, 3 blue/green chromis, combtooth or sailfin blenny(can't remember which), green mandarin dragonet, firefish, Coral Banded Shrimp, Cleaner Shrimp, conch, regular clean-up crew criteria. Corals: Blastomussa, p. xenia, hammer, frogspawn, lots o' zoas(some palys), buttons, cloves, yellows, gsp's, kenya, shrooms, trumpets, galaxea, green birds nest, birds nest.

My current parameters are: Temp. 81, sg. 1.026, mg 1400, Ca 420, kh 11.5. I don't test for the usuall nitrates, phosphates, etc... I don't have problems in that area and will only test if a problem may arise.

I just joined pnwmas.

That's a vital saltwater dosing element.

 

It must be administered in liberal amounts following water changes, tank viewing or shopping sprees at marine stores.

 

Occasionally absorbtion is increased by following the initial dose with a second or third dose at regular intervals (rock2)DOH!(laugh)(whistle)

 

P.S. Nice looking tank stuff you have too.
