Welcome to the DSR Reefing historical Website!

DSR stands for "Dutch Synthetic Reefing". This is a way of keeping a mixed reef aquarium successful without waterchanges. The DSR Method was developed by myself "GlennF" as a problem solving tool for my own 1500 liter mixed reef aquarium. No water changes and controlling essential water parameters are the basics of the DSR Method.

Why the DSR Method ?

 
With the DSR Method it is possible to achieve a stable and controlled reef environment. 
It's a All in One solution for reefkeeping.
The cost of running the DSR method are a fraction of salt needed for regular water changed.
Better understanding of the way things work.
More control of the biochemical processes in the reef tank.
The DSR Method, for who?

Do you want like to take reefing one step futher than the usual anemone with a couple off clownfishes?

Do you hate water changes?

Do you like to learn more about the reef dynamics?

Are you struggling to get control over your tank?


If you don't have any problems doing periodic measurements and all above are answered "YES", than you should consider running DSR.
