Sold4JC 60 Gallon Reef

Beautiful tank. Hooked it up with a bunch of frags recently and all were really healthy and doing great!


Curious if you’re doing water changes with the moonshiners method? I started on that a couple months ago but feel like water changes make it hard to know if I’m just throwing things out of balance from what corrections and dosing is recommended on the moonshiners method.

I don't do regular water changes. I usually do about 20% every 4 months.

What are you at for Nitrates and Phosphates? I've heard that new tanks should keep it low, so nuisance algae won't grow. But what about a fully packed and mature tank, I hear people run a lot higher.

I got my AquaBiomic test back a while ago. When I upgraded, I used half a bag of Ocean Direct sand and the live rock from my 20-gallon system. I dose Zeobak once a week. The test showed a mature reef.

Is the camera specifically to view the skimmer?

I can view most of the sump with it. I have a few other cameras on the system to be able to keep an eye on things.

What camera are you using? What camera do you recommend?

I've been using Wyze cameras. They are super affordable and do the job. I have one motorized and two stationary cameras.

I use the WYZE on my DT, but never thought of the sump. Good idea
