Water Parameters/Dosing Guide needed
JMW replied to PoiPoi87's topic in New to the Marine Aquaria Hobby
Hi no need to dose Ca & KH as your water volume is substantial compared to the number of SPS you have. Noticed that you are dosing kalk, 2part Bionic, & running CR. That’s quite a lot going on there.. A few SPS frags or colonies will not cause your parameters to fall too much, weekly water changes will be sufficient to replenish levels. Unless you get more clams & SPS, & if you don’t dose for a day & observe levels consistently dropping, then it means your livestock is consuming the elements & it’s time to dose. However, we must also be aware that there’s a certain degree of error/accuracy when we use our hobbyist test kits -
Nutrients are nitrates & phosphates, which are the by-products of food and waste added to the tank. Balancing level of nutrients are key in a healthy reef tank, as too low nutrients your livestock may starve, whereas too high nutrients, algae will thrive, if you have more LPS they would appreciate the nutrients too. But nuisance algae can get out of control very quickly. As for lighting, my own take is that regular LED lights are suitable for growing caulerpa. White, red lights are of suitable wavelength for growing it
-
Just to share.. caulerpa is known to go ‘sexual’, that’s where it start to whithen. Some counter-measures are to run the light on the caulerpa 24/7, or pruning it regularly. another possibility is your nutrients are low

I have one small container. PM me

Nice co2 scrubber! Noticed any pH increase since deploying it? Also, is there any visual indication when it’s depleted? Maybe the pellets will change color or something
