What do you dose

[dawgface]

Currently the only thing I'm adding to my tank is when needed A&B complex for Calcium and Akl. and weekly Iodine with water changes. What are some of the things you guys dose/add to your tanks. I have a dominate softies/LPS tank with a few sps thrown in.

I asked this same question a while ago, and the general answer was 2-part and let water changes do the rest.

No one fessed up to using anything else on a regular basis.

I dose the strontium once a week, aquavitro fuel twice a week, and the rest is from water changes...im finishing up a bottle of iodine but i prob wont continue once its out

Do you test for the iodine you dose?

 

[dawgface]

No, I sure don't and I know I should!

The idea of vodka scares me.

BRS 2 Part daily through dosing pumps and BRS Mg by hand 1x per week

Calcium reactor

Just started dosing fuel 2x/week. No noticeable difference in anything. From the talk of the stuff I was expecting my corals to jump out of the tank and kiss me when I started using it, but so far nothing...

 

[nholderried65]

it worked good for my sps, but i didnt see much difference for awhile. and iodine good when doing a carbon source helps with blue color sps a lot other then that if you do good water changes you should be okay

Because it's VODKA!

In reality my tank needs to be automated as much as possible due to weekly traveling on my part. From what I heard or read it has to be dosed daily.

How long have you been dosing? Thats the one thing I've been contemplating adding to my dosing routine. Any other "Fuel" testimonials out there?

 

[dawgface]

True dat!

How was it before usage? Did you notice and difference? Specifically growth?

You use Fuel? or Vodka?

 

[cr500_af]

BRS two part. I'm really thinking hard about vodka, but not until I return from Texas. No need to start only to have to be gone 5 days.

 

[cbj25]

Fuel and calcification, occasionally mg, iodine, and aqua vitro 8.4

Becca do you spot or broadcast feed your zoas?

Top shelf of course!!

I hear most people just use the everyday stuff but I don't think it matters as long as its pure and not got anything extra.
