I would like to re-evaluate my tank and get your opinions on what, if anything, I should upgrade or change.
Here's my hardware specs:
Oceanic 46g Bowfront. No sump
2x96 watt Power Compact fixture. 10k bulb and actinic bulb. On for 11 hours a day.
Emperor 280 HOB filter
Seaclone 100 HOB protein skimmer
AquaClear 30 Powerhead
MajiJet 900 Powerhead
Coralife Pure-Flo II RO. 50 gpd 3-stage
Temp. is about 75 in the winter, 80 in the summer.
How's aeration? I figure the filter, skimmer, and 2 powerheads have enough water movement that I don't need any other aeration.
I change 5 gallons once a week, then add a cap-full of iodine, trace elements, calcium, and Amquel+ water detoxifier.
Here's a pic of my tank:
