Hello guys,
Im titof and i come from belgium. I'm new and found this forum and found it interesting.
I don't have a very good english so sometimes i use a translator. There isn't a lot a of people who can help me in french when i have a problem or if i need a advice, its why im here and to share my experience also.
I will share you my journey started one years ago until now.
I Have a RED SEA Reefer XXL625
3X REEFLED 90
2X PUMPS REEFWAVE 45
REEFER SKIMMER 600
ClariSea SK-5000
ATI Dosing Pump
Tunze LED for the refugium with algue
Aqua Medic T controller twin
in the begining, i used the Red Sea salt "Coral Pro" with 4 daily supplements (KH, CA, MG, NOPOX Red sea products) the recommendation of the recipe Red Sea for a reef tank is
Alkalinity 11.5 dKH
CA 450 ppm
MG 1350 ppm
Nitrate 2
Phosphate 0.1 ppm
Salinity 34ppt
I had these settings and they were stable.
The problem is that with the supplements and the recommendations followed I did not see any evolution of the corals even after 6 months. My friend advised me to change the salt because he had a reeftank but did not know the Red Sea brand.
So I took the SYN-BIOTIC salt from TROPIC MARIN and since 3.4 months
I can stop the MG, CA, Nopox supplements and reduce the KH
everything was ok for the settings.
On the other hand, I still have the impression that there is a problem in my tank because I saw the evolution of tank more recent than me and i found them more progress
Here is a bit of my journey until today.
If you want to share with me pictures of your tank, your water parameters, maybe some advice?
For users of Red Sea lighting and / or circulation pumps, could you share your settings with me? maybe it could help me!
Thank you some much
