Do you dose supplement for your sps tank? Except Amino acid. Anythings like Iron, Potassium Iodine, Potassium?
Currently using reef crystal salt, I dont know if the salt has enough of these element for best coloration.
 
Shouldn't ever need to dose any of those to your tank unless you're running a Triton system. If you do weekly, bi-weekly or even monthly WC then those levels are okay. If you're going months at a time without changing the water then some elements may start to diminish.
 
Not needed. Calcium reactor chewing through media like mad and weekly 15% water changes. Keeps everything colorful, fast growing, excellent PE, and stupid simple. No need to add all those extra steps and products
 
Keep up the water changes and the minor trace elements will be taken care of. I will add to never dose what you dont test for.
 
I am with all of these guys... not necessary.

The only thing that I would recommend dosing is Iron if you are growing a lot of chaeto in a fuge.
