Hi Claude

I just recieved a supply of Ultra Amin and I suspect the powertrace elements will arrive on Friday. To review Dosages I am currently using:

1. Min S 3 ml/ daily
2. Bak 0,5 ml/ daily
3. Bio 4 drops every 3 days
4. 500ml of zeolite in reactor
5. Ultra Amin dosage.... 5ml/day based on 500l volume?
6. Powertrace This is based on 10ml/day at volume of 500l
PT 1 50 % ......5 ml
Pt 2 100 %......10 ml
Pt 3 100 %......10 ml
Pt 4 50 %........5 ml

7. 10% water change...will be done on Friday

8. All test kits are salifert
9. Coral life Salt will be switched over on the next week gradually

Any changes I should make?

For salt I've been liking dd h2ocean salt, it measures well when I test it. You can also use rbs but may have to add a little calcium.

Thanks guys. I don't think I should be using zeovit salts because I have to add Ca and the fact that it is an Ultralith test. H20 sounds interesting. I will look into these two salts. Any specs on the pails. Have a look at that salt review.

My specs came pretty close to what they list on the pail for the H2ocean:
DkH- they list 8.7-9.8, I've been getting around 9
Cal- they list 430-460, I've been getting 440ish
Mag- they list 1300-1380, I've been around 1370
Pot- they list 380-420, I've been at 410

I keep my salinity at 1.025 and tank at 79-79.5 F,
hope this helps
