Well I do 20% water change bi weekly feed every other day was using prodibio for additives
Daily inspect tank to make sure everything is where it needs to be and everything is as it should be. (corals are there , fish are there, temp is right, water levels right, skimmer is running, all pumps running, top off is full etc.)
Empty the skimmer cup every two days or so and clean.
Try to do Weekly water changes.
Every week or two test the water for calcium, mag, salinity, alk.
Every 3 months clean she skimmer pump.
Every 6 months clean the return pump.
Weekly to Monthly inspect all equipment.
Empty the skimmer cup every two days or so and clean.

Thinking of changing water change schedule to every week. Forgot the dosing of BRS 2part
You would be surprised if I told you how often I test the water. My test kits expire before they are used. I do feed one frozen cube food a day, add some coral food a few times a week, clean skimmer once a week, clean the glass once or twice a week, water change every two weeks, and change my socks every day after my shower.
