Finally caught the update! I love the waterbox frag..... I purchased one when they stopped production thinking I made it in time, but the order fell through and missed out 😢 I had to go with a marine x 60 as an alternative. I'm still gutted to this day....... Great light combo, all looking great! 😎👌

Last icp said 0.9 vs desired level of 2. But I think mn gets used up quickly, so I just make sure I have some in my tank every day - 1ml in the morning for when my corals start photosynthesising and 1ml at night for the chaeto.

I’m new to the hobby, I’ve been doing a 10 percent water change a week, now that I see your doing a 20 percent weekly is my 10 percent enough? Or would 20 be better on my 50 gallon?
@ReefDork
Жыл бұрын
It's just easy for me to do 20% because I have a large water vat right next to the tank. And that gives me the comfort that I can get lazy and miss a week every now and then. I have 3 tanks so it's hard keeping up with maintenance sometimes so this helps with that. Most people do 10% per week - that's what I do on my main tank.

I dose Zlements PH+ during the night and AFR during day, Icp tests came back with only 4 trace elements on low side... a lot better than just dosing Zlements. I think Zlements doesnt have what AFR has and versa. My ph is more less no swing at all. Basically PH+ works same as Kalk but obviously is more expensive to run
