Same but salifert alk. Probably getting Hannah alk. Also using salifert for PH. Thinking about grabbing Milwaukee ph monitor but havent ruled out apex system yet and someone want to waste money.
I love the Hanna ALK the most. It's quick, easy (no foil packets) and no guessing.

I used to have the best apex on the market at that time with PH. I got out of the hobby for awhile and then sold it and when I got back in I had to buy everything from scratch and got the cheaper Apex Jr. Now I wish I had the PH capable APEX... that's the way to go.

Oh I didn’t know the Hannah alk was easier than the other ones. That sells it.

I thought all the Apex Jrs had PH Probes? That would really be the only reason I’d be getting one right now, because everything else Is already automated through different things. Don’t know if it’s worth it, but I would probably grab a trident for sure too eventually.

New corals are in the tank. They took the long way around but most of them seem to have survived the adventure. I'm a bit worried about the Jungle Juice as it looks very pale though.
How are the corals going and need any additional help with triaging anything in your tank?

Ya'll are on the right subject for my next question. How much of everything does everyone dose each day, and on what tank size? Just wanting to see all the differences. I know every tank is different, but it'll be interesting to see.

I'm dosing our 110g system (90g dt and 20g Sump) with about:

Alk: 10ml/day
Cal: as tested
Mag: as tested
Iodine+: 1ml/week I think just starting
Iron+: not sure
Potassium+: not sure
Bioactive elements: not sure
Nionitro: 10ml/day

All are red sea products also. Just wanting to see how much everyone uses. See if maybe there's a way to get a rough estimate on what should be dosed daily.

Oh, and good morning you beautiful people!

I keep it simple.

  1. 17 ml of All for Reef a day spread through 24 hours hourly.
  2. 5 ml or 10, just depends on if I skip a day of Neo Nitro manually.
  3. Every 3-4 days, 10 ml of magnesium to keep that up.
  4. Manually dose about 4 oz of phyto daily, twice a day.

Feeding wise, I dose an amino acid daily, but rotate it. My day to day is Aquavitro Fuel, every three days I do Acropower to boost my phosphates. Occasionally I'll use Brightwell Restore when I'm direct feeding corals, I'll use that to be the liquid to mix with Reef Roids, Benepets, etc. I used to dose Red Sea AB+, but Fuel has iodine in it, so I don't dose that separate.
