ATI Test Results: https://lab.atiaquaristik.com/share/2441d97f97a0c1550f55
Hey all,
I'm in a position where my alkalinity is on the low side and my calcium is on the high side. I dose ESV Bionic two part and I've always read I should dose the two in equal parts. Any suggestions for this?
Also, as suggested in the report should I dose:
-Iodine?
-Phosporous?
-Manganese?
-Fluorine?
If I should dose any of these would it be appropriate to do the calculations and either mix it with my ATO RO water or my two part ESV Bionic? I would rather not have to dose every day manually and not buy any more dosing equipment as my sump area is a bit crowded.
Also, a few other side questions:
Are filter socks really worth it? If I stop using filter socks will I see a big difference.
Is a 1.5 Gallon Refugium that I set up worth it? I'm not sure I'm seeing any benefit from it.
I'd like to simplify the maintenance if possible. My tank has been really stable and fish, inverts, and coral are all doing well except for my Zoas. Can't quite figure them out.
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
