What supplements do you dose?

IMO quality food additions like, live phytoplankton, frozen cyclopeze and ultraclam (I have no clams but the product is really minute) is more important to coral growth and colour.

I feed coral frenzy and Catherine (Michika)'s homemade frozen food, but thats it. Perhaps getting my hands on some live phytoplankton/cyclopeze would be beneficial? I have never used either.

Thanks Jdigital...I think I might give the Seachem a shot

Phyto, Amino acids, Roti Rich, Plant Fuel, Kalk, and some clay based stuff can't remember the name right now.

Try to maintain a consistent 450PPM Ca, 9DKH and 1400PPM Mg, and strong lighting. If I can not test for it, I do not dose it.

I'll supplement my new SW with Mg and Ca then just rely on the Ca reactor the rest of the time.

I run kalk. and ca. reactors. I occasionally use zeo AA and Sponge power, but only because I'm using them up, not because I believe they are doing anything. I believe in a heavy bioload, so lots of fish poop. Occasionally I do hatch live brine, and gut load them before releasing them into the tank.
