Supplements for new 10g

[psreefs]

I am currently cycling my new 10g and was wondering what elements I should be supplementing. My Red Sea test kit came with calcium, strontium, molybdenum, iodine, and trace green. I'm not testing for any of these currently except for calcium, which I measured at 350ppm. Red Sea says it should be 400ppm so I'll be adding a bit of calcium supplement over the next few days to raise it 50ppm.

 

I also added a bit of strontium, molybdenum, and iodine today. I did not add the success trace or success green since it says not to add to tanks that are less than 3 months old. If anyone is willing to give a n00b some direction that would be great!

while cycling, it can be wasteful to dose. the tank will erratic for awhile, then finally stabilize. follow nitrites and nitrates. look for things growing on lr.

 

when things settle down, you may want to have your alk tested before messing with calcium.
