Trace Element Dosing

[ReefPig]

Alrite guys,

Following an ICP, with the exception of Ca/Mg (as they're no-brainers), when other elements are low, which ones would you suggest are "important" to dose back to within limits.

Potassium, Strontium and Iodine are pretty well known.

Things like boron, lithium, vanadium, Manganese, zinc, moly, nickel, are these really important?

Cheers,
Dave

Boron, vanidium ,zinc, manganess, flourine ..id say these are also important . .they should be in balance as well ..you will definitely see improvements over a few months

I’ve dozed 100% to tritons recommendations for the last 8 months and I’m they haven’t steered me wrong. Tank is doing great.

That’s great news.
I certainly wasn’t questioning Tritons recommendations, more questioning what will give me “the most bang for my buck”.

For example, my Nickle is undetectable, they recommend I dose it. Is anyone doing this? Does it help anything? What does it do?

I’m currently dosing the following: Nickel, Zinc, Vanadium, Manganese, Iodine, Potassium, Sulphate, bromine, Boron. I only know what my tank looks like with dosing it. I actually don’t have anything else to compare it to.
