Set It And Forget It: Getting Your Saltwater Tank On Cruise Control

My tanks has been like that for a while. I only have to do water changes. My Apex has been a nice piece to have running everything. I litterly only feed the fish and do water changes. I test the KH every other week or so. other thank that everything is automated. I even know when my skimmate collection container is full via email, lol.

A nice mixture of technology,laziness, and convenience.

working on that right now.. I so miss my old 75. All I ever did was fill the top off and feed the fish. checked salinity every month or so and thats it..... it was way too easy.. now I am doing some new methods and yes, there is more work. I did add a Reefkeeper recently so I am looking forward to that with the reporting functions. my temp and CaRx are still on their own individual controllers, and may transition over as I get another pair of power bars.

I too have been on auto pilot for some time, Just water changes,clean skimmer cup and feed daily and like Rick Check KH every 10 day's or so.
I'm a lazy Reefer or i wouldn't want to do all that work, God Bless Apex and Red Dragon Pumps...

Same here I even have a auto feeder for fish and corals . All I do is add topoff h2o, check kh and WC every Sunday night. 1st of the month change out carbon and add food to the feeder.
