Weekly maintenance of my Red Sea Max Nano

Nalusachito · June 10, 2020

Hope everyone is safe and enjoying your tank at home.

I've put a lot SPS frags into my tank a while ago, so I had to add a dosing pump to keep up with the KH.

I am dosing 4.0ml Ca, 10.2ml KH, 3.0ml Mg and 1.5ml Reef energy A&B daily. Like always, I perfer Red Sea products for the quality and customer service.

Every Saturday, before the water change, I will test the perimeters to adjust the dosing pump.

As you can see, PO4 is around 0.03ppm, KH is 8.4, Ca is 450, Mg is 1400. Comparing to last week's result, my Mg is quite high now. I wish to reduce it to 1380.

The total water volume of my system is 75L(Exculding sand, rock, inculding Chaeto reactor). 0.75ml of foundation C will increase my by 1. I wish to drop it by 20 in a week so 0.75ml*20/7 days, I will need to drop my dosing by 2.14ml per day.

Here are some photos of my tank. The blue digi is growing very fast, that's about 3 weeks' growth. I am using the old formula reef energy A&B because we couldn't get the new one in Australia now.
