![]() Thank a bunch guys.
![]() First off I have to say how happy I am with the little naso...he/she is sooooooooo fat with algae and the tank is visibly cleaner. I never would have thought a fish that size would have such an impact. On the flip side I think he may be a stinker once he grows up some. He already doesnt show any fear of the two much lager tangs and even has a bit of "tude" about them. Ok, so here is the reason for me switching salts. The tests from this morning were sg .024 dkh 9 elos Mg 1320 Sali Ca 380 Sali and I dosed 3 caps of Tailored aquatics dkh 3 caps of Tailored aquatics Mg and 100ml of kent 2 part Just to keep things where they are...I have dosed that amount everyday for four days ![]() sg .024 dkh 5 not so impressed with that ![]() Mg 1440 Ca 480 So I will be doing the first change on the tank tomorrow...I thought I could ease off on the testing but will now have to tweak things a little Im sure to get things figured out.....Im also sure an expensive calcium spewing gadget is in the near future. I love this hobby. ![]()

![]() Is it really cheaper in the long run though? If there's one lesson I can impart onto anyone from my mistakes, it would be "don't slough off on testing." If a number is important to you, you need to track it. I feel so completely burned on KZRB now, I felt "Well, I don't need to test because I paid more!" .. Yes it is my mistake and I accept responsibility for it .. the point is .. if I have to test anyhow and dose to adjust Ca/Alk/Mg anyhow ..then I might as well take the salt that costs half because the additives I use are paid for by the difference. For real. And they last me way longer than a bucket of salt. I guess there must be different break-even points depending on total volumes, bioloads, water change volumes and frequencies, targetted levels and consumption rates, and the additives one uses. (Wow, that's a lot of variables. Can we work in moon phases into the list too?
![]() I dunno, but it just seems to me that everytime I've listened to the hype about a salt, I've been disappointed. A salt is a salt? Can it really be a tipping point (barring "bad" salts or batches or whatever)..
