Lizz, can you tell us a little bit about the upkeep on this tank? How often and how large are your water changes, for instance?

I'm still sort of experimenting with maintenance for this tank. I've found 2G or even 1.5G seems a little disruptive for water changes. Now I'm changing out 1 gallon per week (or truthfully.... sometimes after two weeks). I feed a lot, and everyone seems happy.
Tank gets phyto 2x a week, a small pinch of coral frenzy once or twice a day, and mysis or brine every other day.
I'm going to keep an eye on things though - I'm thinking I may try smaller and more frequent as well.
I also scrape the glass every few weeks - pretty easy actually!

Thanks!
