Supplementing tank questions !

[Alan600]

I been doing some research but I can't really find some good info on supplement a tank . I just want to know What are good supplements to add to keep good coral growth and good coral color ? The only things I add to my tank is iodine once a week and fuel when i feed coral twice a week.

you want to add what keeps alk and calcium stable.

Like dosing alk and cal ?

 

[fishroomlady]

yes, IF you need to. It depends on what you keep in terms of how much is used. It also depends on how frequently you do water changes. There are different ways to supplement calcium and alk such as kalkwasser dripping - you also need to regularly test your tank water to get an idea on whether you even need to supplement.

Yeah I dose everyday . I'm sorry I wasn't really Specific I really don't know how to explain . But is there anything thing I should be dosing other then the big 3 main things . Any other trace elements ?

The big three are all many people dose and have fine tanks. IMO, more than that is a subtle effect, if any. I'm on my phone and can't easily copy and paste links, but check out my articles sticky at the top of this forum and click on beginners series: what needs to be supplemented.
