I'm impressed that you got it there sans supplementation. I must admit, I'm a user: Reef Plus, Tech-I, Marine C, and Super Buffer. Oh well. To each his own. |
I'm sending you a PM right after I post this so watch for it and get back to me.
I LOVE the egg-crate idea for a Frag tank. It's relatively inexpensive, easy to work with and easy to replace. Also the holes are PERFECT if you happen to use reef-plugs (which I have a LOT to use). It's just really easy stuff and I can't wait to start making my reef racks.
Yeah I don't use supplements. I subscribe to "If you don't test for it don't DOSE for it" and I haven't bought any addition testing kits
I guess if I buy more test kits then I will HAVE to buy the supplements too. No just kidding. I find that with my overly regular water changes that everyone seems to be getting the minerals they need through the salt mix. I will say that my corals have REALLY taken off after switching from IO salt mix to Reef Crystals. I can't say it's ALL because of the salt mix.. it could be that the tank is just finally getting mature and stable enough for the corals to take off. I hate to attribute my success to any one thing because that ONE thing might change.. so I'll just call it blind luck
thanks for looking at my tank!! And thanks a TON for the kind words and support. Honestly it's been a GROUP effort between me, My VERY caring and understanding wife, Reef Sanctuary and of course Mother Nature herself
