Frag tanks reward routine
Because frag systems are built for growth, they can consume alkalinity and calcium faster than you expect. The key is tracking trends so you can dose or adjust slowly—without big swings.
Daily checks (quick)
- Temperature
- Salinity (especially if no ATO)
- Visual coral behavior (extension, tissue, color)
2–3x/week
- Alkalinity (especially in SPS-heavy systems)
Weekly
- Nitrate
- Phosphate
- Calcium (as needed)
- Magnesium (as needed)
