Daniel Name Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Hypes, Your tank it's just amazing! I don't know if you already wrote that but i couldn't find it. Would you tell me what do you dose and the maintenance? Thanks! Link to comment

Would you tell me what do you dose and the maintenance? Thanks! Thanks so much Daniel. Your tank looks fantastic as well. It reminds me of my old 60-F I currently only dose Reef code B for Alkalinity from Brightwell Aquatics.Im using a drews doser(controlled by my apex) to dose around 16ml daily.Im not dosing calcium as Oceanic saltmix runs pretty high in the calcium department although in the near future I may have to begin dosing. I perform 5 gallon water changes weekly and add additional iodide,potassium and trace elements to enhance the saltmix. Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Hmm. What motivated the addition of iodide, potassium & trace elements? Link to comment
astral Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 So i finally got around to setting up my new tank. As some of you know i recently broke down the ADA to migrate to this setup. I purchased the tank from chris over at Pico Aquariums. Dont hesitate to buy from chris hes a great guy and does some really good work. Heres a pic that chris took that sold me on the tank. I still havent finished setting the tank up im still leak testing and making water(which i forgot takes forever).. I should be done by sometime tomorrow. Pic of the sump Coming Along.. The tank has a fantastic view from the front, totally awesome! Link to comment

Have you been adding the iodide and potassium and trace elements all the time E. or is that something you just started doing and if so (in both cases) do you feel that the water changes using Oceanic salt do not replenish them sufficiently ?

Rehype Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Hmm. What motivated the addition of iodide, potassium & trace elements? Hey weetie thanks for checking in. Hope all is well Well mainly once i realized how much was being absorbed by activated carbon. The tank has a fantastic view from the front, totally awesome! Thanks alot astral Have you been adding the iodide and potassium and trace elements all the time E. or is that something you just started doing and if so (in both cases) do you feel that the water changes using Oceanic salt do not replenish them sufficiently ? I actually started doing at the beginning of the year. I believe the saltmix has enough but ive found that my use of activated carbon strips the water of these elements and my livestock has alerted me when they've gotten too low.Specifically my montipora digi let me know when postassium levels are too low by thier base coloring and my blood shrimp looked to be having issues shedding his exoskeleton which prompted the addition of iodide.Just an FYI I dose the additives in very small amounts.

Nothing beats what the life forms are telling you .... thanks for clarifying why you did so. I appreciate it. Link to comment

Sometimes the signs are really subtle but they tell you everything you need to know...its just whether you can interpret it or not. Link to comment
albertthiel Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I totally agree. Sometimes the signs are really subtle but they tell you everything you need to know...its just whether you can interpret it or not. Indeed and I guess that comes with experience and knowledge of the life forms we maintain in our tanks .... Link to comment
got2envy Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Well if your ever up this way i got a frag pack with your name on it. At the 2 year mark is where i feel like i have to either take a break or start something fresh.Its probably because i get so "tuned in" to my tank that it becomes borderline obsessive and my brain needs to reset Send frags to me.. I pay! I hear ya about the OCD..I have woken up out of a deep sleep knowing something was going on with one of my tanks lol Link to comment
