When I first started with my reef tank, I had plans! I wanted to have enough corals where a 30% water change once/month would replenish the needed minerals.
After cycling, I did a 90% water change.
1 month later, I did a 30% water change...Why did I do a water change? I'm not really sure, it was according to schedule and something I just usually do out of habit.
Currently I have very few corals as I'm taking my time and letting the tank settle while trying to find a balance.

- DKH (10.9), Calc (450), Mag (1500)
- PO4 is undectable by Selifert
- Nitrate has been descreasing as the skimmer and algae reactor picks up.
- POR (.03 or less)
- Nitrate (5)
- Once I have enough Corals to deplete the (DKH, Calc, Mag), then I would consider dosing something.
