Sabella's 450L mixed reef build thread

I dose Brightwell Potassion and test with the new Salifert K kit. I love the sudden rapid color transition of the kit opposed to the painstakingly long, faint coloration Red Sea K test. Lol

How much do you dose daily and tank size? Just curious

I dose 4ml weekly split into two separate doses in a Fusion 20.

My weekly water changes alone with CP salt drop my Potassium a little despite the fact that it's a high K salt. I chose to maintain my potassium at 420-430 as my calcium runs 450 which would be the approximate ratio that the Brightwell instructions suggest.

Haha the ETA on my 350 is the 16th. I'm second guessing whether I should've went with a 450 now...

Yea but brightwells starting dose calls for 5 ml per 50 gallons witch i "think" is somewere in the neighborhood of 2ppm per day. You cant really accurately tell with the salifert test because of the 10ppm titration difference. But i resumed dosing again, 4ml a day, ill test before my next waterchange nd it should be the same test result i got last week

My space is limited in my condo so the 450 would be a tight squeeze. I carefully planned for the 350 so it would allow space for maintenance. My next upgrade will need to be a larger house to fit a 300DD... Lol

Do you feed Fauna Marin LPS pellets ever? I had some rainbow pinwheel blastos that took off once I started feeding them that. My dendros have 15 baby heads now surrounding the 3 original heads. Those pellets man... (;
