Don't heavily feed your fish this will give you po4 problems and nitrate problems. Only feed 1x a day that's it. Yes there waste feeds your corals but its a closed system and will cause problems. As long as you dose AA that's food and oyster feast and sponge power you done. I don't think you want po4 and po3 problems.

its perfectly fine to feed your fish heavily if you take the necessary precautions w/ phosphate and nitrate removal.

I dont dose any thing other than Ca/Alk/Mg

same here but i want to see what other people is doing and i wanna try new thing to see if i can get more color out of it

nothing works better than rock solid parameters. That article sounds like a bunch of BS and the colors are not very impressive...

Ive become very skeptical of dosing and supplements if you havnt noticed. Everyone is dose happy these days. Im happy with the way my tank is looking so I havn't been very experimental lately.

 

[rickytsui]

yes wes i understand what u mean i been doing that for the pass 2 years u guess i been feeling intchy to try new things =)

 

[anthony27]

intchy to try new things =)

well all want to do this but we also have to rember our tanks are not chemistery sets that we can play with. I did alot of reading and I mean alot of reading before I started dosing and changing with water chemistry. I am doing 2 5 gallon water changes a week and also dosing brightwell products. I am also on the hingd now of swapping out my rodi filters every month I am taking no chances at all for top quality of color

 

[rickytsui]

ant u can get a tds meter to check your rodi filter this way u dont have to change it every months i change my like every 1/2 year even know the tds is at 0 also i do about 30-50g water change every week

 

[anthony27]

not bad, I have the tds meeter, I am talking about the sediment filter.

 

[rickytsui]

yes i know ant

If you dose to much you will get an alge proble that it.

I am using like bat the bright well coralamino and all i dose is borad feeding for the whole tank it is 20 drops . I dont know what the bottle says but I know i have it down to 20 some times I put 16 or 13 drops in the tank but in a high flow area

 

[Bob 1000]

i might have to try it seeing the colors in your tank are out of this world!

Yep..
