Maintain RO/DI unit to provide optimal water for water changes due to excess nutrients in water column due to overfeeding and supplementing

Invest in "reserved" garbage cans for water changes

Check inventory of supplies daily so as not to run out of supplements

Keep corals trimmed back, to prevent toxin wars, due to optimized supplementation and mixing of biotopes

And last but not least.................................


Remember that every 3-5 years we have to do a complete SB swap so that the great and almighty "DSB" doesn't cause the system to crash and kill off everything...
