Very nice set up, peninsula style gives a lot of options on aquascaping, do you still dose or just running the Ca reactor?

Amazing set up. Interested in dosing schedule if you dont mind? Also what are you using to test water params?

No I dont dose anymore calcium reactor holds up the calcium and alkalinity, every now and then I put zeovit magnesium rocks in the calcium reactor and that hold the magnesium steady. Thank you for reading the thread

I use Hannah test meters almost for everything except Mag, Pot, Strontium these I use Salifert. I dose a lot of Zeovit products like Amino acid, B Balance, K Balance, Pohle extra special, stylo-pocci glow, sponge power, Pottasium iodide, reef booster and Flatworm stop.These I dose as per there directions. Then I also dose 5ml of trace elements from tropic marine Trace A and Trace K and Esv strontium 8ml per day. Some times I think that there is no need for all of this cause its expensive but I like the colors and the vibrant look so I think its worth it. I use Tropic marine pro salt which I buffer to 9dkh to match my tank alkalinity caus ethe salt is low on alkalinity. I hope this will help you thx for asking

Precision marine made that box for me as a proto type. The only thing I had to use an epoxy liquid and thread the adapters together so it don't leak but it works
