Maintenance Routine:
Currently my routine is a bit sporadic because life has been hectic, but I try my best to stick to once a week water changes and maintenance. During the weekly cleaning, I test the water parameters (Alkalinity, Calcium, Magnesium, Nitrates, Phosphates), change 10 gallons of water, replace the filter sock, clean the skimmer cup and neck, refill dosing containers, scrape the glass, manually remove any algae growth in the display, turkey baste detritus off the rocks, and siphon the sand bed.
In between these cleanings, I add biopellets to my reactor as needed and refill the auto top-off reservoir. I am currently auto-dosing E.S.V. B-Ionic 2-Part (Alkalinity and Calcium) and Magnesium several times per day. My doser also adds Two Little Fishies Acropower every other day.
Feeding:
Two of my lionfish were only eating live food when I first purchased them, so they had to be weaned from live ghost shrimp to frozen mysis. Now all of my tank inhabitants are exclusively eating frozen food. I feed the lionfish and eel 2-3 times per week, since this is how they would eat in the wild. I purchase a selection of fresh seafood from a local seafood market and make my own frozen cube blend that includes prawns, squid, scallops, salmon, and silversides. At each feeding, I feed one cube of my homemade blend along with one cube of PE Mysis.
