nuj244 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Please help enumerate basic supplements (iodine, strontium,..) needed for corals (mushroom, zoo, bubble,star polyp...).

SRC Member Sapp Posted August 22, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted August 22, 2006 Using Aquaz Iodine and Mg additivies for the past 2 months. And also TM strontium. Judging from the fact that my big mushroom just split to 2, i think it works and the price is quite reasonable for Aquaz additives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member nakazoru Posted August 22, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted August 22, 2006 There are 3 basic must have additive especially hard coral: 1. Calcium - Normall come part A 2. Carbonate Hardness- Normall come part B 3. Mg - to complement perciptation of calcium. It is preferred to use item 1 & 2 from same brand. Otherwise you will experience ionic imbalance. The rest of the additive you can buy later. But u have to know the 3 above first I also use quite a few Aquaz... a couple Aquapharm, 1 seachem... Aquaz mostly Hydro range, so easy to dose.

divinesloth Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I use Aquaz Iodine, Magnesium and Kalkwasser. So far my rics are growing and the corals are doing pretty well. Quote Why all the venom? Reefing is just a hobby, dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohank Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I agree wit these bros ya. By using aquaz brand i really sees t difference in my mushrooms and corals. It s also adviceable to use the same brand for better water balancing. Cheers...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
