Tank Maintenance Scheduled Water Change/ Filter Sock Replacement

[jdpiii3]

Hi guys, I wondering what everyone does in terms of daily, weekly maintenance on there tank.

On my 400 gallon reef I do:

1%-2% daily water changes, and top off with 5 gallons of RO/DI

Daily replacement of 25 micron filter socks

Dose 90- 100 ml of vinegar

Dose 10 teaspoons of Tropic Marin Bio-Calcium

Weekly I blow off the rock with a small powerhead

Weekly clean glass with a magic eraser original and mag-float

Bi-weekly I scrape the coralline from the glass at the sandbead

Monthly I vacuum out the sump.

Hi guys, I wondering what everyone does in terms of daily, weekly maintenance on there tank.

On my 400 gallon reef I do: I have a 180g mixed reef, 70g anemone tank and 120g sump/refugium

1%-2% daily water changes, and top off with 5 gallons of RO/DI 30g water change once a month, 2g+ of RO/DI top off with alk & calcium dosing

Daily replacement of 25 micron filter socks I have 4 drain lines and 2 run 100mic socks about 60-75% of the time and I chage them when they get dirty (5-7 days)

Dose 90- 100 ml of vinegar No carbon dosing, no nitrates or phosphates. Even my macro algae doesn't grow. I do dose a bit of iron and a half teaspoon of sodium ascorbate

Dose 10 teaspoons of Tropic Marin Bio-Calcium 400ml of dowflake calcium and 400ml of soda ash (alk) mixed into top off water and dripped into the sump

Weekly I blow off the rock with a small powerhead I have 'spraybars' behind my LR wall and I blow off the rock by 'turning up' the flow on the sump pump, but the rock is very rarely dirty.

Weekly clean glass with a magic eraser original and mag-float My wife cleans the glass and scrapes coraline as needed. BTW, I love my wife... she also cuts the grass!

Bi-weekly I scrape the coralline from the glass at the sandbead I never really touch the sandbed

Monthly I vacuum out the sump. Vacuumed the skimmer section once in 2 years, don't really see it as an issue.

I'm just about ready to start seriously fraging corals as they are starting to grow into each other.
