Hi All. I run a Reefer 525XL which is slowly progressing to sps dominant.
Historically I ran ATI essentials but as more sps were added I decided to delve into the world of calcium reactors and based on lots of advice Ive gone with Dastaco.
The downside is the media that needs to be used only provides Alk & Cal so all other trace elements need to be dosed.
So far Ive been making up my own mixes using individual ATI traces mixed with RO and then tested/adjusted via ICP.
However Ive seen several threads where new products have come to market designs specifically to provide the trace elements so Im looking to explore and potentially switch to make life a bit easier.
Options so far:
Can any one provide any info or suggestions of 1 & 3 above, or other recommendations for use with a Dastaco.
Thanks

Options so far:
- FM Bailing Trace 1, 2 & 3........Would need to determine amounts to add/mix via ICP based on Alk/Cal demand.
- Oceamo Regulator A & B....... A two part trace mix....possibility similar to what Im mixing up myself.
- FM Ultra Elements A & B........ New two part product which I cant find any info on!
Can any one provide any info or suggestions of 1 & 3 above, or other recommendations for use with a Dastaco.
Thanks
