I’ve got a 180g mixed reef with 9 fish and 75+ corals. I’ve been dosing the the list below with pretty good luck but wondering what everyone else doses and if you’re happy with the results.

1) Kent Marine Essential Elements once per week per instructions.
2) Kent Marine Coral Vite once per week per instructions.
3) Two Little Fishes Strontium once per week per instructions.
4) Vibrant once per week per instructions. Only 2 doses so far and it’s bringing Cyano and Bubble algae under control, will cut back to maintenance dose once these are gone.
5) Two Little Fishes AcroPower daily.

I’m planning on eliminating the Kent Marine products and going with TLF Sea Elements when the Kent products run out(about 2 more weeks). Mainly switching because of articles explaining how TLF is only the elements that are being depleted and others brands can add elements that will build up over time which can cause problems.

My corals are all doing well and growing. New heads on Acans and Favia’s, torches, hammers and frogspawn all splitting, SPS all encrusting and growing well, Zoa’s all growing new heads and platys, lepto’s Trumpets etc... all doing great.
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
