Yes, I don’t do waterchanges so I dose kalk via water top offs (1/8 tbspn per gallon) and I also dose polyp reef labs one for mag / cal / alk and Kent marine essential elements 5ml weekly. I also try to use AB+ because the corals love it , I was doing 5ml daily. And I also feed one cube of mysis daily soaked in selcon. I’ve been feeding the nems daily recently and it looks like it has helped and made the one in the last pic split (two nems kinda look like one)Are we dosijg things in this tank ?
was it hard to calculate how much kalk to use ? Cause my 5 gallon bucket of ato water takes 2 weeks to empty. Also it lowered my phosphates too muchYes, I don’t do waterchanges so I dose kalk via water top offs (1/8 tbspn per gallon) and I also dose polyp reef labs one for mag / cal / alk and Kent marine essential elements 5ml weekly.

My phosphates stay .05 to .3 so I don’t really worry about that but the 1/8 tbspn per gallon is I think a good minimum to start out , it’s not enough for my tank because I’m still dosing alk / cal / mg along with it but it keeps my tank more stable , like only falling .1dkh a day and keeps ph 8.3was it hard to calculate how much kalk to use ?

Not too long after this my tank after some good deals with other reefers , I had rescued the tang from a lfs with ich all over ( I don’t qurantine ) and it recovered! Ye introducing disease probly wasn’t the best … but I believe healthy fish don’t get sick so I always supplement feedings with vitamin enrichment
Thank you ! I am very excited to do the next step in life. The date is in august next year time flies! Time to go follow yr threadI read the firsts & last page of your build thread. Glad to follow along.
First, congratulations on your engagement. It sounds like a good deal if she encourages you with your reef addiction. You are correct about healthy fish immune system being the best medicine.
Ooo okay I may do that after I get my phosphates down . There at .5 which is a tad high and once I figure out how much kalk brings it down I’ll start using it again. I have no sps so my dkh shouldn’t swing muchMy phosphates stay .05 to .3 so I don’t really worry about that but the 1/8 tbspn per gallon is I think a good minimum to start out , it’s not enough for my tank because I’m still dosing alk / cal / mg along with it but it keeps my tank more stable , like only falling .1dkh a day and keeps ph 8.3
Thanks , it was my first ever sps got from local reefer as freebie, survived about 100 alk spikes and Dino’s lolnice coloration...
