Check if all equipment is running properly
Monthly-
20% water change

Take a lux reading of the lights and make adjustments if needed
Calibrate necessary probes
Storm tank and sump agressively

Man, I would love to do it already. But, I'm going to have to wait.

Wow, you are really on top of your System.. I could take a page from your book! We never got a chance to discuss your thoughts on Your Deltec 2060 skimmer when you came by. How do you like it so far, how long has it been running and what did you upgrade from?

Let me start by saying that after going thru 2 skimmers (RedSeaBerlin, ASMG3)in the past, I wasn't going to go with just any "give it a shot" skimmer. So, I did some homework on the contenders and came up with the SC2060. Perfect fit in my sump and definitly a work horse. What Deltec says it does, it does with no bs. Most efficient line of skimmers in the market, the model I have runs at 25 watts. Built of quality materials, easy to clean when it gets coraline on it and overall great product. As you should know, with your fancy BubbleKing250, you get what you pay for.

You're far too kind, Thanks bro.Sweet looking reef! Your camera is fine, as well as your pix.

That's great to hear and I do believe that this hobby is no exception when it comes to getting what you pay for. A Deltec AP851 was the backbone of my last system and started this one off. Sometimes the fit is everything! I went through that with my last decision. Glad it's working out well for you!
