Any thoughts on dosing Kent Marine Essentials?
I dose BRS/Randy three part (alk, calc and mag) and have a 4th head on my dosing pump free.
Inorganic mineral salts of aluminum, boron, bromine, calcium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iodine, iron, lithium, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, potassium, selenium, sulfur, strontium, tin, vanadium, and zinc in a base containing deionized water and EDTA.
Pro's
1. cheap
2. easy to dose
3. has a few elements I was interested in dosing to support macro growth - iron, manganese, molybdenum, iodine
4. somehow it makes me feel good like I'm doing something good for my tank
Con's
1. has some stuff which at the recommended dosing level (5ml / 50g) is too small to matter like magnesium and calcium
2. has some heavy metals which I don't know why they include like tin or vanadium and would rather leave out
3. lord knows we don't need anymore lithium
Interested in hearing your thoughts or if if have another trace element recommendation.
