I have my reef totally set-up after 4 months now. All I may add is some fish. A pearly head jawfish, lawnmower blennie, a large clown, and thats all for the tank. I already have a naso tang and a bar gobie in the tank. The corals that I have in the tank are as follows: A daisy coral, candy cane coral, hammerhead coral, and a green open brain. The inverts that I have in the tank are a maxima clam 2", a derasa clam 5" (show size), Hairy mushrooms, ricordia mushrooms, striped mushrooms, spotted mushrooms, and a fuji mushroom (all mushrooms ranging in size and color), 30 blue legged hermit crabs, 20 scarlet hermit crabs, 10 turbo snails, 4 emerald crabs, 3 horseshoe crabs, 3 cleaner shrimp, and 2 peppermint shrimp. Then a 3" CC sustrate and 80# of live rock.
Water levels are as follows:
PH 8.4
nitrite, nitrates, and ammonia= 0
calcium= 410
The only additives that I add to the water is the salt after my water changes and calcium every other day or as needed.
I feed the tank twice a day:
In the morning I feed them formula one and zooplanktin.
At night I feed them brine shrimp, zooplanktin, and phyloplanktin.
I do a water change every month and clean twice a week.
After all that is there anything that people may want to suggest. Am I not doing something tha tI should be doing? Have I missed anything? The animals in the tank are great but I want to keep them that way.

I would say that you probably don't need to clean twice a week. That seems excessive. What are you cleaning?? Algea?? I personally have found that the less disruptions to the tank, the happier corals and other inverts (fish too) are.
