Utilising Dastaco Ca reactor and the manufacturers stone like media which provides basically just Alk and Ca. I have been ok so far dosing a few elements that were always low on ICP like strontium, potassium, iodine, manganese and recently fluorine. As well as mag when it goes low on tests. Also starting to dose a bit of iron to see if it helps fuge growth.
Want to try to dose some elements to see if i get better colors and reduce individual dosing. I do make 20 percent monthly water changes but realise those do little for supplementing ...
Considering tropic marin balling C alone, or maybe A and K. But interested in other suggestions that work for you.

TM Balling C is not a good way to go. At best, it is like doing a tiny water change with a salt mix lacking sodium and chloride.

I think A and K is a good plan. Other brands may also be good for this purpose.
 

DO YOU THINK TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS ARE MORE HELPFUL OR HURTFUL TO REEFING?
