What do you dose?

BRS shipping to China would be expensive for me

so I currently use Seachem reef advantage Calcium , Sea Chem Reef Builder for Alk and for Mag, which drops very slowly in my set up, I vary between 3 products which are Seachem reef advantage mag or Brightwell Magnesion or Kent Tech M mag ( depending on which of the 2 liquid additives the stores have when it comes time for me to replenish)

Nothing

 

+1 for the Seachem and Kent's and I do live in the US.

 

I use Red Sea Coral Pro Salt, dose Red Sea Alk/Mg/Ca and also use the Prodibio line as well as some regular Brightwell Aquatics Microbacter 7.

 

This thread was a good idea diver :thumb_up:

 

I've been increasing Water Changes which seems to have the best overall growth. I use Red Sea Coral Pro salt.

But I dose (over time as depleted)

Calcium
Magnesium
Iodide

ReefBuffer (which ups KH and PH to 8.3)

And 'dose' (all flow off) a mixture of foods, but mainly mysis shrimp.

I find feeding and WC are more effective than dosing alone.

 

Thanks everyone for participating. I have 1/2 a gallon of b-ionic 2 part from when I used to dose my 80g but since RC, more frequent WC and a larger system I haven't had to dose anything yet. I just want to get an idea of what I will have to do in the future and thanks for letting me know what you dose.

Anyone else, what do you dose?

 

Vitamin C

 

Do you even know what's in it?

The big problem is, if you're not testing for it, you don't know where your levels are. With some "trace" elements, your corals can go from happy to dead in a matter of hours if you exceed NSW levels.

I do agree that most artificial salt mixes are lacking in some trace elements; however, to rectify this, I prefer to use Catalina NSW (Petco Real Ocean Water) for every 3rd or 4th water change. No guessing =no danger.

 

What kind of Vit C do u use? I have been thinking about getting some to soak the silver side in for the meat eater.
