How do you replenish trace elements in your tank? (POLL)

[reefjunky24]

I use both a calcium reactor, and I use S-Plus and Amino-Life by M3, I have had good results with both color and growth with using these products. Also for the past 8 weeks I have been using the Prodibo system which I am very impressed with.

I don't consider Ca, Mg, and alkalinity to be trace. Trace means minute quanitities and, to me, that's things such as iodine, strontium, etc.

Me too. I dose potassium (KCl) and strontium (SrCl) with my calcium via a peristaltic pump system. I find both to be important for keeping SPS and both to be deficient in most salt mixes. I was quite amazed at the difference this makes when comparing to times past when I did not dose these two ions.

By trace elements I mean things like, calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, etc..

For Ca., Alk. and Mg.... Balling baby!

For trace element bi-weekly water changes.

 

[JGoslee]

I dose Randy's diy 3 part for Ca, alk and Mg.

Weekly 10% water changes for everything else.

I do water changes with gettanked salt weekly and never feel a need to supplement.

I do a combination of water changes, reactor, and some supplementation because there are so many corals in the tank. Plus, I don't believe any one way provides everything the corals need. The salt is synthetic, reactors use media that contains only what coral skeletons need, not living tissue, and supplements are synthetic too, but together I hope get everything. I've had great luck with it.
