Maintenance on a Reef Aquarium
| Daily | Feed the fish |
| Clean the glass | |
| Dose KH, calcium, magnesium, and coral food as needed if you don't have a dosing pump. | |
| Check and top up for evaporation with RO water in your reservoir | |
| Weekly | 10-20% water change with salt water |
| Test your parameters (check out the ranges here) and adjust dosing as necessary. If you can test KH more regularly than this, that's better! | |
| Empty the skimmer cup | |
| Use some Reef Roids to give your corals a good feed | |
| Monthly | Send off an ICP |
| Take out and wipe down the skimmer | |
| Take out the powerheads and soak them in EzeClean mixed with warm water to get any algae off and keep them powerful. | |
| Every 6 months | Take out all equipment and give it a good clean in EzeClean, check for signs of damage or rust. |
| Give your sump a little siphon whilst the equipment is out, and remove any sediment that has accumulated. |
