Hey all,
I have an like brand new Neptune Trident for sale. I used this for 3 weeks to make sure the parameters were correct. I had a Trident before this one and it was always off. This one is perfect and was very consistent.
As you can see in the photos, it's basically new. No salt in the...
How to Start Dosing Calcium, Alkalinity and Magnesium in Reef Tanks
If you're ready for SPS, or even some LPS coral and need to maintain stable calcium and alkalinity, this is for you!

Don't make critical mistakes...
I know this is a question/discussion that’s been had before, probably many times. But years tick by and things update and change.
Aside from your controllers (apex, hydros, trident, etc…)
And notepad/ whiteboard
What is the favorite phone app to log, chart, track all your important parameters...
I am new to Saltwater. I do not have any corals. I have 2 clownfish. Redsea reefer 425.
I keep putting in Alkalinity, Cal, and MG thru apex DOS. The levels keep dropping.
I do an automatic water change of 1.5 gals every day.
I use Classic Sea Salt Mix. Alkalinity - 9-10 dKH (approx) Calcium...
I've been in the hobby for 3 years but id consider myself semi beginner intermediate and have been recommended last year to dose as my levels have not been stable between water changes. Being a student whos about to head to college, school has not let me research what i really need in terms of...
I’ve created a regime to really dial in my parameters. It involves daily dosing:
-0.4g kh buffer (unsure of brand)
-16g magnesium (seachem dry)
Haven’t got a calcium supplement yet.
Can people recommend good/better brands?
Am I better to stick to something like all-for-reef?
I feel like...

Nitrate 0-5
Nitrite 0
Ammonia 0

Hi everyone!
I have been battling a mild Dino outbreak and part of my plan of action is no water changes. My alk has dropped to 6DKH and my Cal to 360ppm it used to be 8DKH and 420ppm.
This Alk and Cal consumption happened over the span of 20 days so it wasn’t a fast change. My PH was at 8.2...
So I received my Trident a couple days ago. I've been playing around with it and here's what I've come up with so far.
They give you a small piece of paper in the box that tells you to go to TASKS>Trident Initial Setup. They also give you a piece of paper with a BIG NO NO on plugging it in...
Is my tank too dirty? What do I add for a CUC? I have 3 mexican turbo snails, 4 astrea, 1 nassatrius (idk) snail, I had 1 tiger conch but I haven't seen him in a week.
My corals and fish seem happy and my corals are open and growing pretty quickly.
Parameters:
Alk: 9.2dKH
Cal: 400ppm

I'm not sure if and when I should start dosing BRS 2 part daily with a doser.

1 Hammer coral (5 heads)
1 Torch coral (3 heads)
6 Clown Fish
15 Trochus snails
20 Certh snails
Ca = 350
dKH = 8.4

There is no aspect of reef aquarium chemistry more important than calcium and alkalinity. Many of my previous articles have described various aspects of these systems in detail. In reading those articles, aquarists will note one pervasive theme: that maintaining appropriate levels of each are...
