KISS method no mixing or dosing

From March of 2004, I have 2 main tanks 75 gallon full of sps and 150 LPS softie tank with Moderate fish load. I do a 13 gallon water change every 2 weeks on the 75. And a 13 gallon water change on the 150 weekly Oceanic salt for the sps tank and Instant Ocean for the 150. This ballence works for me as I have all the free RODI water I can use

What salt are you using? All your elements are being provided by the salt. Do you have a lot of corals needing the supplements?

I use instant ocean salt mix, and have a pretty good amount of LPS and SPS corals. I had an overstocked 75 gallon, and recently moved it all into a 180+40 sump, so now I'm only moderately stocked. I've been doing 20 gallons new water every week.

I am VERY fond of the simplicity of Kalk stirrers

I added the option for you so you can now vote

Thanks for doing that. I see I'm not the only one who does it that way.

I have a calcium reactor that I will be installing this week. I will be adding mag media in it as well. I have never dosed, but now I see my tank is using more than just water changes give.

I use Bulk reef supply 2-part recipe 1 and it has kept my lvls constant since I started, I used to just dose powder form and I could never remember when I had done it last and when to do it next and how much to add so I had spikes in lvls. After Switching to the everyday dosing my tank has looked considerably better and my Corals have started to flourish.

This one does not work for me since my reading on my 3 buckets of IO is 320 on CA.

kalk reactor, Calcium reactor and occasionally dose mag! I got tired of dosing constantly checking water parameters with varying levels. Now I only add kalk every two months, refill my co2 every six months, add mag a couple times a year and only check water parameters now well this week was the first time in the last six months and all were great!
