Introduction
I'm a female reef keeper who lives in Essex County, NJ. I started in the hobby with a 34 gallon Solana in April 2011. I upgraded to a 90 gallon perfecto tank in August 2012. I enjoy reading, traveling, watching movies, doting on my family, and tending to my reef!
Filtration
My tank has 110 pounds of live rock. In addition, I have a Reef Octopus Diablo skimmer. I also run RowaPhos, and I grow chaeto in my sump.

Additives
I use BRS alkalinity and calcium 2 part solutions. I add Brightweel Aquatics Magnesion. I dose them automatically using BRS dosing pumps. I don't dose trace elements because I use Tropic Marin bio Actif salt.

I perform a weekly 20% water change. I change my filter sock on a weekly basis. I also clean the glass with a magnet cleaner twice a week. I change my Rowaphos every 4 weeks.
On average you perform a 20% water change every 10 days.
0% total water change in January.
