Hi folks!
Summer travel is slowing and my tank has done really well through it all! YAY! Thankful for my teen son growing up salty and being able to be responsible for most maintenance and able to handle any equipment emergencies made it worry free.
I’m looking forward to the Fragtastic show in Leominster
Tank has been stable for a while, and it's time to add more frags and also to start dosing as my beginner corals (LPS and SPS) are taking off! Looking to crowd source some thoughts as to what is available and best these days.
In my old reefing neighborhood, flatworms were the plague and I trusted Revive as a good dip. After a while, red bugs became a thing, and I was able to get some Interceptor and used that for quite some time. Looking to know better and do better. Currently using Revive. What do you use? How? Why? Please don’t recommend QT (for me) as I’m not setting up a QT tank for corals.
Dosing. I used to use B-Ionic 2 part in my 180 (reef crystals salt.) I also constantly chased my always low magnesium with Brightwell magnesium. I then went to Epsom salts and all was good. Now in my 29 with reef crystals, my mag is low, my calcium is a bit low, alk is in a good range every time I test. Corals are growing really well, but I wouldn’t mind a bit better color. Anyway.. What do you dose?
