Hey there,
I have a 132 gallon tank to which I recently added several more blooming SPS frags.
I am using kalkwasser in the ATO and dosing Tropic Marine's All-For-Reef daily at about 25 ml/day. Using Hanna checkers, my nitrates have plummeted to 1-2 ppm and phosphates around 0.01 ppm. Starting to realize I'm effectively carbon dosing - evident by my skimmer taking out a lot more wet skim these days (and still lots of gunk).
This raises the question... why not use carbocalcium / all-for-reef as a one stop shop for carbon, calcium, AND nutrient control? Aside from cost...
Curious to hear your thoughts on this one!
Cheers,
Ross
