@ldam I do rely on dosing the system since no water changes are performed, but my dosing mostly consists of a 2 part calcium and alkalinity supplement as mentioned in this video series. Nitrite levels are non existent in the tank since the initial cycle, and if what you meant is nitrates, nitrates are also non existent due to the deep sand bed and refugium below. The bacteria and life in the tank take care of everything for me. That's whats great about reefs. They are capable of this and more.

i do carbon and gfo change monthly, but what do you do for mg ca and alk, water change replenish these. do you dose since you haven't change you're water, what about nitrite level, beneficial bacteria can only do so much

@Khloe04Men Not if you rinse it well. Must be rinsed thoroughly before reintroducing the equipment back into the tank.

Enjoyed your video. Silly question does any of the vinegar residue from cleaning the equipment harm the aquarium once reintroduced?
Thx

@steogorman Carbon is a form of chemical filtration that continuously polishes the water removing odors, heavy metals, discoloration etc etc.

@pziikopato Sounds good, but if you get yourself a protein skimmer, your system will fair much better :)
