After that, I went to simpler strategies like testing, trying to keep Alk and Ca in line, 20% water changes every couple of weeks. I tried some additives every now and again for trace elements but couldn’t really keep a thriving reef.
Thanks for the info. I have to say that you make it sound like your trace element dosing was irregular, but now is regulated. Perhaps if you regularly used a mix like Tropic Marin A and K, it would have worked better without going all the way to ICP based dosing.
