elements

Custom made dosing tube organizer, however many fittings/slots you need! Available in many colors, default option comes without the bulkhead fittings. Pictures show a white rack with orange accents. Fasteners and collars can come in any accent color. Fittings can be added for an extra charge...

As the title states, after putting in coral, how long does it take for you to notice consumption of elements? I know corals won’t begin to grow until the acclimate so curious what your average time is and the type of coral you typical introduce. For example, I added about 4 sps frags, 3 torches...

Hi, My name is Hans-Werner Balling and I am doing R&D at Tropic Marin. I also have developed the All-For-Reef. Iodine is a very important trace element for coral growth, coloration and polyp extension. Low iodine concentrations slow coral growth, make the brown color fade to a pale...

Hello guys so 9 months into reefing. And now first time I faced elemental problem. Had a drop of Kh from 8.0 to 7.0 and my expensive torch started losing flesh and some polyps. The problem here is that I cant get my dosing system run because Mg and Ca are redline since the first testing without...

I currently have Red Sea Foundation A, B, and C. I also have Brightwell's ChaetoGro, NeoNitro, and NeoPhos since I will be having a reef tank mixed with coral and macro algaes. I will be getting Oyster Feast and Phyto Feast for my filter feeders and fish (in addition to pellets). Finally, I have...

Hello! I am a saltwater newbie: been running a fully cycled Fluval Evo for 2 months now. All equipment are stock. The ph has not been super consist, but for the last two weeks it has been a steady 8.3. Ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate have been consistently at 0. Salinity has been steady at...

I'm curious to find out what people are using their dosing pumps for! Mainly other than standard 2-part. What other supplements can we automate by incorporating dosing pumps? Diluting products that normally are dosed by drops or caps? Using automatic magnetic stirrers, to suspend solids? Come...

R2R Community- How do you establish baseline parameters for your reef to really see how much calc/alk/mag your corals are using? I test once a week, but it seems as though numbers can jump around a little. Ive also never tested right after a WC to see what the numbers are once elements have...

A lot of synthetic salt companies recommend different salinity levels for different tank types e.g. fish only is 30 ppt and reef is 35 ppt. My question is: Do they recommend 35 ppt because of the increased micro and macro element levels at that salinity? Or because the corals need a salt level...

I was looking through some options for trace elements and noticed Tropic Marin PRO-CORAL K+ includes copper? I was under the impression any amount copper is deadly to inverts like shrimp and coral...

I’ve got a 180g mixed reef with 9 fish and 75+ corals. I’ve been dosing the the list below with pretty good luck but wondering what everyone else doses and if you’re happy with the results. 1) Kent Marine Essential Elements once per week per instructions. 2) Kent Marine Coral Vite once per...

I've been wanting to try this stuff for awhile now, since I pulled the skimmer from my Reefer 250 last week and I am relying on the @SantaMonica RAIN2 as my primary filtration I now have room to implement the mud! I grabbed 5lbs from @MarineDepot and dumped into a critter cage, added 2 cups of...

Most hard coral (SPS & LPS) coral keepers im sure are dosing elements back into their aquarium, but how many of us ACTUALLY know what those elements really are? My newest YouTube video tries to explain more ..

Hi everyone, Just got my first triton test results back and I had a few questions regarding some of the importance of the dosing suggestions they listed. A few of the issues I have already been correcting even before I got the results back as it's been some weeks since I bottled up the...
