Water Additives

[kien]

I would suggest marine salt as a water additive. Your corals and fish will appreciate it.

Hi:

I was looking on Liveaquaria.com and noticed that for a lot of inverts it mentions supplement with iodine and trace elements. I am not sure if these are typically in most salts. If there was one product that I could add easily I was going to try that.

Thanks.

Agreed. Regular water changes and you're good.

Your typical salt has all the trace elements that your reef needs.

Do you add oil additives to your engine oil?
Its not recommended by the car manufacturers

you shouldn't have to top up any iodine.test for potassium,you might want to add that to bring out the green in coral,and magnesium

Zeovit Lps amino is great for Lps corals, gets a good feeding response before you feed the tank. I've been using it with great results... Try it if you're able to and you'll see your Lps explode with happiness.

Aminos acids would be the one thing i could maybe recommend besides alk, ca, mg and wager changes. But really i prefer to recommend PE mysis (along side other good foods) instead od amino acids. AA's are basically just broken down protein and PE mysis is quite a bit higher in protein than any other. They are also filled with healthy fats....if the package didnt say "not for human consumption" I'd be tempted to try them myself.
