Thanks,Randy doses it for sponges
http://advancedaquarist.com/issues/jan2003/feature.htmI should look into silicate dosing for sponges - I have a few that I would like to keep around
Iron and silicate.
Curious to hear why you dose Iron and Silicate? Not doubting you (I know waaaay better than that!!)...just a new reefer trying to learn more.
kalium. sr. boron. amino. iodine. mn. and no waterchanges.
thanx.For those who do not speak Hollandish ( ), those presumably are potassium, strontium, borate, amino acids, and manganese.
Randy, what iron supplement are you dosing?
Awesome! Thank you for the recipe!This is the DIY I recommend:

Take 1 tablet and dissolve in 100 mL RO/DI (overnight soak). Let the solids settle out and use the liquid. Then I dose about 1-5 mL to my 200 gallons (dose is not critical) occasionally.
Iron primarily for macroalgae, but all photosynthetic organisms use it and it depletes pretty rapidly.
Silicate for sponges, snails, and other organisms that use it.

next to this i use a iron supplement(dsr Fe+) and a sugar/vinegar mix (dsr Carbon vs)kalium. sr. boron. amino. iodine. mn. and no waterchanges.
And i dose Po4 and No3 to keep nutrients Stable.next to this i use a iron supplement(dsr Fe+) and a sugar/vinegar mix (dsr Carbon vs)
