Show me sps tanks that's water changes and dosing 2 part.

[Reefs anonymous]

Lately most sps tanks are adding tons of supplements. Whatever happened to those simple sps reefs that's just water changes with dosing just 2 part and mag? Please show me some successful simple tanks. I'm going to try and use the kiss method and need some inspiration. Thx

I just started with my first sps frag two weeks ago. I only add seachem reef fusion 1 and 2, 4ml daily and WC every two weeks. So far so good.

Not too many kiss tanks? That's deflating!

My 40 Breeder SPS tank has been up about a year. I didn't dose 2 part, just water changes and kalk in the ATO. Everything was going well until recently when I started to deplete alkalinity faster than kalk could restore it. I started dosing 2 part a week or so ago.

(I ran GFO and Carbon, but not for very long). I think for SPS you don't need as much as people think: good light (T5, in my opinion, is easiest), high nutrient in/high nutrient out, stable alkalinity, lots of water flow.

Skip to the end and work your way backwards for most of the sps stuff

I love his tank but you will see on the last page or so he doses zeovit also.

Not my personal tank but a friend's. Tank is a marineland 300dd. He does weekly/biweekly water changed with reef crystal. Doses 300 ml of brs 2 parts daily. GFO and carbon only with 3 400 watt radiums. Most spectacular tank I've ever seen.

No, actually he stated he used them in the beginning but does no longer. But would consider it if he started to lose color...and he uses the occasional Red Sea supplement but IMO, not enough to count. Maybe re-read his response to your inquiry, and see if you interpret it differently.

No, I sent him a private message because it was hard to understand what he was saying. He said he still uses them And when he runs out of them and he loses color he will reorder. I was sad to see he wasn't just doing basic stuff.

In his private message he said he doses every other day.

I really doubt anything with an sps dominant tank is as easy as KISS, and if it is then i know it took a long time until they figured out how to get it to that level of KISS.
I found my comfort level with,
Daily water changes with an AWC,
Biopellets to feed the corals and keep PO4 down,
Doser for Alk Cal Mag
GFO reactor
Kalk reactor
UV Sterilizer
Ozone for clarity and No GAC

What a beauty! Does he have a tank build here?

I don't think he does, I think he posted something over on RC, but don't think there's much. When I saw the tank for the first time, I was dumbfounded by the colors. The sps were so vibrant and colorful similar to what you'd expect from a zeovit tank. But this is definitely a KISS tank in all regards.

It's a great tank! Put a bug in his ear to post here!
