SaltISlife Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 so Ive been reading some of the posts around here and seems like folks could use some knowledge on tank stability and supplementing/ vitamin dosing (I know I could). what are you guys using? what line works best for you? there are soooo many brands out there and its pretty hard to know which ones actually work.(scratch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Scott Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I've been thinking of using something like Elos Pro Skimmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Many people are using the Elos pro skimmer and elos amino acid complex but in much smaller amounts than recommended. We started using it as well and the corals look very happy. We are only using about 1ml of each in our 150 gallon tank every other day. If you use too much you can get an algae bloom.

finch6013 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Myself and many other sps keepers here use the elos line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltISlife Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 cool im definitely gonna check into the Elos line, sounds like its tried and true among you guys, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trautman Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 i use vitamin c (kent) for my angel fish with HLLE, and i also use the elos pro skimmer. the vitamin c is mixed with nori, and only given to the angel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefnjunkie Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 In the 150 I have set up now I dose 7 drops of the pro skimmer and 1 ml of the Amino Acids both Elos-In addition to that I dose Kents Strontium/Molybenium as directed, also I use Coral vite by Kent as well-I buy it by the gallon, locally its 20.00 for 16 ounces, online its 26.00 for 64 ounces (thats the Stront/Moly) coral vite is similar cost savings. I also dose 6 drops of lugols weekly and lastly I justed started using the Potassion from Brightwell. I have to dose Magnesium about 1 a month Do I need to do all this??? maybe not, but my corals seem happy(laugh) As far as the stability part I can attribute that using a controller that runs my Calcium reactor-For me, once its is dialed in to the proper effluent level, it keeps things rock solid stable.

Emerald525 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Nori is dried seaweed. People will put it on a clip to supplement for their Tangs. It's the same stuff that is used in Sushi restaurants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
