My Tank Thread
I have a question regarding trace elements I'm hoping you can help answer.
I run an SPS heavy system, roughly 160g water volume, use Tropic Marin Classic salt mix, and do a roughly 25g water change every 3 weeks. 1.027sg, 9.0dKH, 420ppm Calcium.
I maintain Alk and Calc using a CaRx and melt almost 2 pounds of media a week. My alk demand is more than 4dkh per day. I feel like with such high demand I should be doing more for trace elements than the water change. I have no idea what trace elements are provided by the media in the CaRx. Would it be beneficial to dose the Original Balling Component - Part C in a system like mine? If so, do you have recommendations on how much to dose?
