JD167's Tank

JD tank is looking fantastic man. could you please also give me a break down of your maintainance regime as well as if you add any additives to your tank how often ect etc?


Thank you ziyaadb. I normally do my maintenance over weekends. I get home late at night so during the week I normally only feed the fish. Over weekends I do normal stuff like cleaning the skimmer cup, rince out the phosphate spunges, clean the glass on the display tank, fill the RO top-up etc etc. Once a month I'll change the activated carbon and de-nitrate bag. Once a week I'll check Ph and Salinity levels. Water changes also happen once a month, about 80L.

I normally dose the tank on Sunday evenings with some Seachem Reef Trace, Reef Plus and Iodine. I also add some other Vitamins(a Kent product, full name escapes me now) as well as some plankton for the inverts. It's actually very little maintenance if you think about it. :biggrin:
 
Excellent thanks for that JD

Hey ziyaadb. I had a look at some of the products again. I use Kent Marine-C every now and then. I also use the Kent Coral Accelerator and not Seachem Reef Trace. Got the two confused. I add Vita chem to the nori and brine shrimp when feeding.
 
realy nice tank JD, for a guys who's avatar looks so confused seems like you have those sps as happy as anything:)

great change over in tanks too, well done fella:)

Cool tank JD.
What happened to the star fish that was in there, or was it creating too much havoc ?

Hey Dragon. No it's still in there. A chocolate starfish. I'm still peefed at it for eating my green leather I got from Puppy, but it's behaving now. If it touches anything else it's gone...killkanga
 
lol jd i have a chocolate star too, never eaten anything except a monti frag i got from......puppy :)

ive had mine close on 7 months now and its never eaten anything thats stressed me out....hunkers down over my zoas every now and again but once he moves off they all seem non the worse for wear.

i do target feed mine a muscle or two a week, do you feed yours at all?

oh and that look thing you got going.....i hope you wear it all the time cause you should be at your tank all the time:)
 
crispin, mmm guess what the common factor is here! ;) Maybe puppy adds something to his tank that just makes all his corals taste yummy?

I've had mine now for over a year and this was the first time it developed a appetite for any of my corals. I've never target fed it. Only the 2 brittle sea stars. Those guys can eat!!
