Can anyone share what they dose on a weekly or daily basis for LPS tank?

Just want to make sure that I am not buying anything exess.

Hi Piero

To start with, my home tank was not equipped with a Calcium Reactor, therefore a lot of dosing is required to maintain my large amount of LPS (relatively large amount for a 3 footer).

Calcium: Tropic Marin Bio-Calcium

Magnesium: Tropic Marin Bio-Magnesium (stopped using as the Marine Environment salt gives me constantly high Mg)

KH: Grotech

Iodine, Strontium & Trace Elements: Aquapharm

MISC: Aragamilk & Purple Up

That's all really :D

Howdee guys,

I read that purple up contains iodine, magnesium and stronium. I was wondering if the corals will also benefit from the dosing of purple up?

Cheers. :D

I think purple up contains calcium instead of magnesium. Thats why it is an coralline algaes accelerator.
