I will admit I was tired of constantly running to my lfs for liquids and spending ridiculous amounts of money on seachem and other brands for my calcium, alkalinity, ph etc.
So, I did my research.... 4 months of research.... and I am now making my own liquid supplement.
from Walgreens.
Before you all begin throwing live rocks at me, let me tell you what I have observed in the past 2 months.
My trumpet coral has divided from 3 to 9 heads
hammer coral has divided from 3 to 7 heads
mushrooms are out of control,
Zoa garden is blooming.
Leather Coral has enlarged significantly.
Pagoda cup coral is doing great.
Not to mention my 3 Shrimp are molting great, and everything, from corals to fish, seem to have more vibrant colors.
no measurements are out of the ordinary.
Here is my solution.
in an empty 500ml bottle of seachem calcium: fill up with your tank water, add 3 500mg calcium pills, 1 250mg mag pill, 1 drop of iodine, and half a teaspoon of ph/alk buffer.
I dose a cap full every 3 days in my rsm 250.
Do not attempt this if you have not done your research first. I am not responsible for your actions and your tank.
what works for me may not work for you.
Who else has attempted this or something similar?
Always perform water changes.
