Supplements

[big pat]

All you people out there with FOWLR tanks, what do you supplement your tank with? I currently add Mydor supplement 7 once a week and Kent Liquid reactor every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday night. I want any recommendations of good things to add to my tank that would help improve the health of my fish, snails, hermits, or starfish.

As far as adding supplements goes - Only add supplements you can test for.
In keeping with this motto I seem to have to add alkalinity buffer every 3rd or 4th gallon of top off water that I add to the system. In the past few weeks I have started adding the Kent Marine Essentials once a week. I have started adding this because I know my calcium levels were dropping before that. I do have several corals in the tank. I do add the essentials because I am too lazy to do the water changes as often as I should and I know I need to get the other elements in the tank. So my main gauge is the calcium and magnesium level. I can only assume the rest of the elements in the Kent Marine are the appropriate level.

For FOWLR tanks all you need is regular water changes.
