I have just bought some coral e by aqua forest . It's supposed to reduce zooxanthellae ...see how it goes after the next few months.

Hi Sorry I don't follow. I will be adding 2 drops per day. As in dosing alk etc this is done manually daily .

chessplayer86 · Nov 28, 2015

I mean, is the dosing really necessary to have this thriving tank?

It is necessary to keep levels the same as your salt mix yes. With a bit of practice it's not to difficult . You could go calcium reactor though. What are you planning on keeping.

I would like to keep a mixed tank (SPS, Shrimp, Fish) I was planing on using my skimmer (bubble magus curve 9) and a media reactor.

Ok . You might get away with water changes on some small sps frags. When stuff grows you will have to pick a method of keep your Alkalinity . Calcium. And magnesium up. If you aren't familiar with this you could read some stuff by Randy farley homes. From memory he wrote something called understanding alkalinity ...in fact read anything by him. If you get stuck and you pick balling give me a shout.

Great looking tank . I don't quite follow coral e use

. IMHO ,If u r trying to improve the colors on that pink milli then it's not going to help .
I would look into amino's or look into flouride, iodine type deficiencies

Thanks very much. I am happy with the pink milli it's some of the others that Imo need looking at. Coral e does have amino acids in apparently and I think I will need to look at coral b. I will also take your advice and look at other trace elements.

LILBUDDHA I bought some florine today . See how it goes.

Really sweet tank! I use TLF kalk, seachem magnesium, and reef crystals. However, after looking at your tank I am going to try the fauna marin balling method. When my kalk and salt run out, I'll give the tropic marin bioactiv salt a try too.
