Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Well said John
I can't really find much info on this product.
I mean my LFS doses it in his red sea.. 3 tangs a bubch of other fish and huge toadstools, Kenya's, Duncan's and lots of other stuff. Basketball sized anenome
 
They only have strawberry conch or large nassaurius snails will either of those work?
It depends on how big it is, but I would prefer you to look for a small one and at most a medium one.
 
It doesn't look like much yet but I'm excited about it. I'm going to order a smaller heater but for now that's the smallest I have.

You had trochus snails on your list. I’d add a few Florida ceriths.

Keep reading and you will see what happened to me with a product that my LFS recommended to me and they tanks are beautiful, not all tanks are the same

God bless your husband, how many tanks are you up to Amanda? My wife would kill me.

No, she won't smile at me like that! She gets upset if I kiss her while the girls are holding her. I offered her a cookie while she had her head on Jeanette's shoulder and she switched shoulders to get away from me and the cookie.

I tried polyfill on the nori clip ….. but then I was like i better just ask cause this is not making sense

Beautiful family Wes!!! Don't hold back and keep sharing!!
 
Right now I wouldn't need it. My nitrates are almost too low, and I've been successfully replenishing my alk calc and mag through water changes. I'm definitely not saying it's a bad product. In fact, I'm intrigued by it. But don't try to fix a problem that isn't there. Don't you have relatively few LPS or sps to even consider dosing the major elements?
No lps or sps just dose it cause no p04 and lower nitrates. Plus let's get the good chems in now.
