wow.. must be difficult to maintain them.
Bro your setup very nice.......ard
so beautiful, up
Quality Coral from GO......
I lost most of my corals when my water parameters went haywire two months back. Now slowly re-stocking...
What happen to your tank parameters?
Can share your experience?
Sorry about your lost.
Basically speaking I started dosing Prodibio Alka reef without using the calcireef with it in order to increase my alk which was around 7 dKh at that time.
Turned out to be a bad decision on my part as that caused my alk to drop to 5 and then to 4 dKh over 1 month plus, my calcium dropped to 260+ppm and my magnesium dropped to 1100+ ppm. Used a number of commercially available supplements but could never get my levels back up to normal levels.
End of the day, I decided to use baking soda to increase my alk, calcium chloride and magsesium chloride which I got in from USA and Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) that I bought from NTUC Unity to bring my parameters back to normal.
Lost probably 2k+ worth of corals over the last two months and now slowly stocking up once again (with cheaper corals this time round).
Some of my recent additions:
You mean the "Prodibio Alka reef" and "calcireef" must use together?
I am having hard time to maintain my KH and Mg as well.
I am using seachem product. Somehow the dosage is very huge in-order to maintain the parameters.
I am trying to figure out the correct dosage.
How you purchase your calcium chloride and magsesium chloride from US?
No local supplier?
Maybe i should use the baking soda and Epsom salt from now.
Yes it seems to be the case. At least that was my information from Prodibio...
You can get it from bulkreefsupply.com. Shipping cost is very expensive though but you still save quite a bit when compared to the commercial supplements.
You cannot just use Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) just for increasing the magnesium levels in your tank. Doing so will cause a very large increase in your sulphates in your tank water.
I'm still trying to find a local supplier for magnesium chloride and calcium chloride.
