What else needs to be added??

[madreefer2]

Hello,
I'm getting my first BTA this week. Currently I am dosing with C-balance, Is there something else I should be adding for my new arrival? I've read something about iodine, is there anything else??
Thanks for help and info,
Mark

do you use a calcium buffer?? alot of them already contain trace elements with iodine in them...dont overdose iodine

need proper lighting for anemones...they need alot of light..BTAs can go with alittle less but strong is still suggested and thats where most people go wrong is they think PCs are going to cut it and they are not...you may have good enough lighting but you asked what else do i need..just makeing sure you know about the lighting

You shouldnt be adding anything you are not testing for. Have you tested for any of the things you are wondering about dosing. You might be doing more harm than good if you dont know what your levels are. More important is your set up. How old is it? what is your lighting like watts and type? What size tank is it? And what are your water chemistry readings. Calc, alk, nitrates, nitrites, salinity, pH and temp.
