If I need to start correct the supplements (Ca,KH,Mg,Sr,K,B, NACL, Iron,Iodid) , what is the order the would you start to correct from this list?

First learn to control kh, Ca, PO4, than follow the list down.
Fe is not meant as target level, but as a maximum single dosing limit.

Never mix kh with other saltsin one (small) container.

I think you have not understood my question. I mean if you need to bring some parameters to the recommended figure (for example Mg 1400, Ca 450, etc.) , which one you will start, or it doesn't matter?

Yes it is!

It doesn't matter for the most elements
as long as you don't add the KH+ or PH+ at the same time.

And always measure and correct salinity as last element.

Just for the fun
I just made this picture with my mobile phone (samsung S4A) a few minutes ago.

Wow! You have an amazing tank!

I can see what you mean...
I need some more coral steroids[emoji12]

I have a question, under "Auto Dosing Solutions", is the capacity (for example 6629.58 ml) total dosing capacity in 3 days?!, or I have to divide it in 3 days (6629.58/3=2209.86), so, I have to dose 2209.86 per day for 3 days?

 

[glennf]

Normaly you use solids to do the corrections.

The autodosing column is the quantity liquid required for the same action.

Normaly this is the (additional) consumption for the period you did your last measurement/correctie.

To determine the future daily autodosing, you just need to devide this by the days between the last measurement/correction.

Post the complete sheet, than i will explain in detail..
Mention date of last measurement/correction.

Plausible.....

Thanks m8.


How about the "skyline"...

 

[glennf]

Or a axe?

 

[revhtree]

Beautiful! I wish I had the problem!

Haha.. david just teasing....

But it's a good thing to show how results can be archieved.

In holland some oldschool fraggers hate my guts, because i show how others can become succesfull with their reeftank.
They see their blooming "frag factory" evaporating, because many others are now succesfull too and frags are comming from everywhere now..
even first year newbees are putting nice frags for sale.
