Hey guys, i have a 34L tank with currently some zoas and ricordae inside.. i do 10% WC every week with red sea coral pro salt.

i read online that major nutrients like calcium and mg are supplied by the weekly WC i do but im wondering if i need to dose extra other stuff like trace elements or strontium for my corals?

and if i need to, what brand and what kind should i use?

Thanks!

Just check ur major elements (ca Kh mg)... If they are stable u should be fine... For zoas shldnt have the need to dose if swings ain't bad... Regular small water change will be useful since its small tank and if u can afford the time, daily or every other day change small small amount shld help to maintain most parameters...

i've yet to purchase ca, kh and mg test kit.. i do intend to get a tank to store salt water (with a pump running inside to circulate the water) and do 1.5L WC (which is around 5%) every 2 - 3 days... But only when i start stocking up the tank with more fishes and corals. :D
