Hello all,
I have 2+ year old RS250 mixed reef that is mostly SPS that have been doing well. I've recently installed a calcium reactor not because of the cost or trouble with dosing, but because I'm retired now and enjoyed the challenge, the gadgets and the distraction...
I had been dosing ESV 2 part and I understood that the "B" part of ESV also added trace elements and I'm wondering some of the ways I can keep those trace elements up now that I've switched.
I'm using ARM media, and added magnesium, and have found a balance that keeps my tank Alk at the 8.5 Dkh it was with the 2 part.
For all the folks that have gone down this road already, what should I be doing to keep up the trace elements that may not mess too much with the tank Alk?
Thanks in advance...
Joe
