I just started up a nano reef (Red Sea Max C-130). I have a 210 predator fowler, but I am still figuring out the coral thing.
Right now, I have 3 Euphyllia, some Zoas, 2 different monti frags, a xenia, and a green birdsnest.
I'm testing the water a few times a week and I can see my calcium and alkalinity being consumed (not so much the magnesium according to the tests) . This makes sense because the frags are clearly growing.
I am using the 3 part Red Sea reef foundation kit. I can already see that this will get old over time. I think it will get confusing if I have to dose at different times on different days, etc.
I see that Red Sea makes a all in one powder dosing kit (ABC+). Apparently, l you do is test the calcium and dose accordingly with the assumption that everything gets used up in proportion.
Am I correct in saying this? Do others have the good results?
