Routine Maintenance:
• Skimmer - empty & clean twice a week
• Pre-Filter bags - change twice a week
• Carbon - change out monthly (media bag runs through an Aquaclear filter in the refugium)
• Water Changes - 10-15% monthly
• Prune & frag corals - as needed

Lighting Schedule:
Main Display:
• 8:00 AM -1 watt moonlights on 10:30 AM - moonlight off
• 9:00 AM - T5's on 9:30 PM - T5's off
• 10:00AM - 150 watt 20k m/h on 10:30 PM - 150 20k's off
• 12:00 PM - 250 watt 10k m/h on 8:30 PM - 250 10k's off
• 10:45 PM - 1 watt moonlights on 12:00 AM - moonlights off
• White led moon phase light runs automatically via sensor while main lights are out

NOTE: I try to time the photo period in a way in which I can spend more time on the reef while it's active. By starting the lights a little later in the day they are on for a longer time after I get home from work which gives me more time to tinker and enjoy.

Refugium/Softie Tank:
• 40 watt light on reverse photo period in the rear sump "Cheato chamber"
• 8:00 AM -actinics on 11:00 PM - actinics off
• 9:00 AM - pc's on 10:00 PM - pc's off
• Frag Tank (250 watt Geisman HQI pendent)
• 9:00 AM - on 9:00 PM - off

Feeding Schedule:
Feeding is provided on a daily basis, generally twice per day, and food is alternated to give their diet a variety of flakes, pellets, brine (super) shrimp, mysis shrimp, cyclopeze and "nori" seaweed. I also mix in some "Reef-roids" or similar product, on occasion to provide some extra food for the corals.
