What is best all round

Biggyg · Aug 23, 2020

In my tank I have zoas . Pollys. Kenya trees ,torch and a sps cant remember the name .

I am struggling to get a decent growth rate i have no dosing pumps or sump for that .

I'm wondering if there is somthing that is all round does the job for growth
I have fluval marine lightning i mix my own water
I was using red sea pro salt but now i have used neo marine salt but thinking if to change to tropic marine salt , as I have heard its very good .

Any suggestions tia

Id look at Tropic Marin’s All for Reef as an easy AIO dosing solution if thats what your looking for. Replaces Calc, Mag, Alk along with trace in one easy dose solution.

im also a fan of their salt. Tried Brightwell’s hut hated the slime it produced in the container. More a slime than typical salt residue.

No, No need to cut the skimmer.

So having the skmmer on will not take away the minerals I'm adding what about carbon in the filter .

Thank you for your quick reply btw

Carbon and the skimmer primarily pull organics. That said I wouldn't dose into the skimmer chamber. Dose to a high flow area in the display or into the return section.
