Trace Elements Dosing

[Badger_Reefer]

I am currently Dosing Strontium, Potassium and Iodine for my 120 gallon sps dominated- Mixed Reef.

Is there any other elements required also ??

If so !! Then which overall trace dosing is optimum !!

For trace elements I use Tropic Marin A and K elements. (K doesn’t mean Potassium but Cationic trace elements)

Works well and so far no accumulation if dosed as recommended.

Interesting you need to Potassium…

without an ICP test you're just guessing, no?

AFR is an all around good product to use if you want just one thing and minimal ICP testing.

Not sure I agree those are required or even desirable to dose.

Potassium is important, but does not necessarily deplete and random dosing may raise it too high.

IMO, strontium is most likely of no benefit to maintain.

Iodine may be beneficial, or not. Some folks think it is, and some folks see no effect dosing it. Aside from certain gorgonia, most corals do not have an established requirement for it. But it does deplete fast and that usually prevents overdosing.

Iron and manganese would top my list to dose.
