Hey everybody
I was thinking it would be interesting to see what everyone is adding to their reefs! So lets all list what we put into our reefs and see if we cant learn some kewl tricks. And also maybe list how often you supplement too!
Thanks
Shawn

Supplmements -

I use tropic marin powders - the magnesium, and calcium - i alternate days with those - then i use pro-coral organic on m/w/f - and stronium on Sundays - I also use Lugols Solution once a week.

For the tropic marin - i use 1 scoop a day - and i am running a 40 gal sumpless.

Is that what your looking for?

:-)

I use only kalkwasser and rely on water changes to replace needed minerals.

All of my supplements come from frequent water changes with a high-quality salt (Tropic Marin is awesome!!).

I add tropic mairn calcium every-other-day, kent iodide/iodine on Sunday and kent Iron on Thurseday.
I was adding stronium/moly. every Tuesday but it kept creating Cyno in the tank, and when I stopped, it stopped.
I don't add any other trace elements because I do a 10-15% water change every two to three weeks.

I actually began supplementing recently... I just created a Supplement POLL for voting on who does and who doesn't... Do you supplement elements?

KAlk nightly and Magnesium once a week. Other than that just water changes.
