slysock I apologize.. I got no notice of your reply here... sorry..
I do at LEAST 1 water change a week and sometimes 2 or 3. A water change for this tank is between 2 - 3 gallons. My corals have REALLY taken off over the past few months. I will attest MOST of that to the tank "maturing". This tank will be a year old next week and it's just gotten better and better.
The keys to coral growth are just like you and I. We have to provide all of it's basic needs....
Food (Light and some types physical food)
Water (make sure your water is as perfect as you can make it and KEEP it that way)
Air (for air I'll call it FLOW... make sure your tank has the proper flow for the corals you have. Some LOVE lots of flow and some are destroyed by lots of flow.)
Bottom line research the corals you have and provide the BEST possible environment for them. Once they are happy the will take OFF for you
Good luck and Happy Reefing
