| Re: Do you supplement elements?
Blue_eyes... In addition to beginning suplements, a few months ago I also added a fine aragonite sand bed of 3-4" in hopes of it dissolving and thus releasing elements to the water. With that said, yes, my xenia is doing very good now.
Reefstick... I am currently using Kent products but when they run out I plan to purchase ESV and Tropic Marin supplements. I have been doing a lot of research in that area and those two are my personal favorites. Currently, I am dosing 2 capfuls of kent stontium/molybdenum and 1 capful of Iodide every 2-3 days; I am also dosing 2 capfuls of Iron twice a week. Should you switch from IO?? ... If your corals are happy, stick with it.
When my current supply of IO/Oceanic salt is gone, I am definately going to switch to Tropic Marin salt. The elements in that salt are, IMO, superior to the others. I will then possibly stop dosing all supplements and rely on water changes for all elemental needs.... the corals will be the gauge of that decision.... |
