Supplement suggestions for your reefs?

[MikeD88]

Hello everyone,

I was thinking about dosing brightwell coral kolor to add color. My question to everyone is what suggestions to you guys have on supplements/additives for your tanks. What do you guys use? Does anything help overall growth rates? Thanks for any help.

i just started using koralcolor per the "recommended" instructions about a week ago. my corals are looking good but i don't think it's had much of an effect yet.

that's really all i use besides alk/ca dosing via a ca rx and feeding rods food, mysis, cyclops, rotifers, spectrum pellets, reef chili

I supplement with weekly water changes and daily vitamin C, alkalinity and calcium.

Brightwell's Replenish, Vitamarin-C, Reef BioFuel, Potassion, KoralColor, Koralle-VM, CoralAmino, and MB7

I also use Brightwell's two part and do weekly 25% water changes.


Since I started using the Brightwell stuff I've noticed better colors on everything. The corals are much more vibrant then they used to be.

i hear replenish works well. can you share your experience blackhawk?

I can tell you that I had a chevron pick the crap out of a two eye frag of reefready hurricane chalice. The skeleton was visible throughout the whole frag. I target fed the replenish to the chalice and within 5 days it looked just like it did before it was picked.

Do I know for a fact that target feeding the replenish is what made it heal so quickly? No, but I've never had a coral heal that fast before. I'm sold on it. :)
