Do I need anything else?

[Vincent100]

Hi all

I run a 350 Red Sea tank mostly lps but with about 10 sps frags

I use Red Sea reef foundation ...a/calcium
B/carbonate and buffer
C/magnesium supplement

Fluval sea trace elements
Acropower,amino acid formula

Am I missing something for a stable tank or is that enough

Thanks

I'll let someone else chime in on your question, but your tank looks gorgeous!

Tank looks great to me. Is that all your using? What do u have for filtration? Skimmer, Carbon ect....

 

[Vincent100]

2 reactors , one with bio pearls and the other np bacto pellets
a sack of carbon hanging in the sump

Tank looks stable to me. Nice tank!

I don't understand the 2 reactors? Both running bio pellets just different brands. Why if you don't mind me asking?

I have a Theiling rollermat in my sump. I hated changing filter socks

Tank looks great to me. I used a similar dosing regimen for years. Never had any issues. As long as your calcium and alkalinity stay stable, in most situations, you are good.

had a little trouble with high nutes after the tank change over and had alot more fish than i have now ...white spot , just wanted to get on top of it and stay a low nute tank .........seems to work well

just a quick Q, just about to go to my lfs and grab a couple bits of live rock ...i want to build up one end of my tank more as iv so many corals on my sand bed now ..... am i asking for trouble by adding more rock , the rock at the shop sits in a big plastic tank coverd with water
what ya think guys go for it or hold back ?

 

[Labridaedicted]

I just added live rock to my established tank. Add it little bits at a time to avoid a giant nutrient spike. If you're tank is well established, you will likely not even see much algal growth

If it ain't broke, don't fix it

I do not think you need to dose anything else. Whether the trace elements are desirable or not is hard to say.
