i have fragged my sps but not many times.... most my pieces are still smaller then i want b4 i start fraggin but if someone local ask sometimes ill give a piece here and now...
as far as adding anything to the water after i dont....
all i run is my Ca reactor and it works really good at keeping things stable as far as the CA, Mg, and Alk go
ive never checked my iodine or strontium levels i just assume they are fine when i do my water changes

i run a "MRC-CR2" calcium reactor....
its a My Reef Creations.... hold about 14lbs of reactor media and its 2 chambers .... for larger tanks....
it works great IMO
so much easier then dosing or dripping Kalk
yeah u have to play with it for a lil to get things going at the rate u need but after that its pretty simple.... maybe test once a week or less then adjust from there....
as of right now my alk is at 8.3 dkh and my Ca is 400
i have a 10lb CO2 bottle and it last about 6 months on my tank
i have no complaints about this brand reactor its quality made and affordable i think for everything the reactor the media the feed pump the recirculation pump the Ph monitor the solenoid and bubble counter and the CO2 tank it cost me around $650-700 but well worth it especialy if ur gettin tino sps in a larger system... otehrwise dosing will end up costing a ton more and be such a headache with the constant testing

i dont know if u remember a while back I asked you about the fuzzy lion dwarf in a reef tank and you did influence me to buy it...he was not really eating nothing else but live feeder fish but eventually he died because he wouldnt not eat nothing else (vitamins, and such) but my reef will come around with the new lighting..thanks for being a good influence once again!
