ive adjusted a few things with my set up. starting with the dosing of magnesium, im now dosing 15ml/60 gallons.
im still not dosing calcium as using cal hypo adds sufficient calcium to the water. im very happy with this as now I can use that money towards other dosing products that gets used alot more.
sodium hydroxide been adjusted to 1.5ml/ 60 gallons- 30x/day. sodium hydroxide is being dosed for PH stability
now for the coral food. redsea amino acids, vitachem, zooplankton, reefroids, omega one fish food pellets, seaweed gets blended up and stored in liquid form.
I feed this 3x per day. I dont target feed just poor it in by power head.
during lights out I add 15ml of bacteria every night.
the fav part about my system is the burn tank which to me is the power horse behind this system. ive adjusted a few things when it comes to water recycling/water burning.(my name for it).....
instead of having it active multiple times per day im now adjusting to twice per month. the burn tank cleans the water, removes organics, removes unwanted bacteria and pest, parasite /fungus prevention, slightly lowers nutrients, fix Alkalinity, Ph and ammonia if any is present.
instead of dipping new coral I run the burn tank, more so the use of cal hypo which adds chlorine to the water in small amounts when used properly which rids unwanted hitch hikers that are not seen. reason I say this. I put a receding torch coral in my tank from someone else's stank and the tissue has become better looking and more fuller.
I had a chance to snatch up a Walt Disney across small colony that also had tissue recession but decided against it as moving it from the current system so soon to me would've been a no no. I know the opportunity is still there for me to get it and try it out so once I feel good about it then I'll take it off the current owners hands. as we all know acro's are super sensitive. Acro's will be the tell of all tells when it comes to my fix all system
