What are your favorite reef supplements?

[kzaveri19]

... and your dosing schedule? I am looking to start dosing soon and wanted some recommendations.

Hi, I'm using red sea foundation A B and C and couldn't be happier.

I dose 4ml of cal and buffer in the morning and 4 at night.
I dose 1ml of mag everyother day

 

[Best Fish-Jake]

I personally have never dosed trace elements... use a quality salt and keep up on weekly/biweekly water changes with RO water. I reccomend Red Sea Pro or Reef Crystals

 

[jsker]

Balling method, AquaForest 1+2+3+

 

[Rick.45cal]

Balling method, Tropic Marin A, B, and C

Baking Soda and Prestone Driveway heat for alk and calc---------Randy's two part.

IO water changes(weekly 8-10%) & fish food for "dosing"

This is what I dosed for many, many years:

Limewater for calcium and alkalinity.
Magnesium added to water change water to boost it a bit.
DIY iron and silicate supplements.
1% daily water changes with normal IO.

I'm similar to Randy (actually he inspired me to make the shift to this):

Kalk for Ca and Alk
Mg when needed
3% daily w/c using a stenner pump

BRS two part

 

[hart24601]

Well I use 2 part, vinegar, acropower, and limewater. I don't dose limewater in ATO though. Of those my favorite would be the vinegar.

 

[bluerexy]

2 part only for me! But I also do a water change every 10-ish days with reef crystals.

Fairy food. It turns my Acropora into Home Wrecker colonies that I sell for $10k.

 

[sundog101]

I need to get some of that fairy food
