It's good mentoring and a lot of luck.

Hmm.. I'll buy the good mentoring part. SPS don't seem to care about luck very much.

Secret Santa gave me BRS money!!! I was thinking about dosing...Andrew uses Red Sea energy A&B already. What do y'all think about Red Sea for dosing? Suggestions please.

 

[fabutahoun]

By dosing you mean , Calcium and alkalinity ?

 

[Katrina71]

Yes. Sorry I was vague.

I use the BRS 2 part. Calcium & Alkalinity Starter Package. Simple and easy. I like that it is based off of Randy’s formula which I am familiar with and can research here. Uses Calcium Chloride and Soda Ash which is pretty common.

Whatever you choose, I can help with math. :)

Good! I'm gonna stock up on red/green M&Ms.

I tried putting red M&Ms in my tank like you suggested, but I just got a bloom of Cyanobacteria. ;Woot

I will try green next time. Maybe peanut.

How handy is that?!!

 

[Katrina71]

Ok. After some reading...both of us will use this. I think I may go with Red Sea. I think Andrew will do better with something pre mixed. Plus, it's available off the shelf here in case of an accidental spill. He's 11. I'm a cluts.

 

[Katrina71]

Do y'all think it would be ok?

I did not think of that, That totally makes sense. You do not want him mixing these chemicals for sure.

I noticed... that's kinda what I was thinking. Originally, Red Sea was a thought because he already uses the other products.

The Calcium Chloride gets very hot when you mix it,

Any of the chlorides would concern me with him.
