Recommended Posts

Please help enumerate basic supplements (iodine, strontium,..) needed for corals (mushroom, zoo, bubble,star polyp...). And what brand in particular. There are a lot of products outside but want to get those proven helpful.

Using Aquaz Iodine and Mg additivies for the past 2 months. And also TM strontium. Judging from the fact that my big mushroom just split to 2, i think it works and the price is quite reasonable for Aquaz additives.

There are 3 basic must have additive especially hard coral:

1. Calcium - Normall come part A

2. Carbonate Hardness- Normall come part B

3. Mg - to complement perciptation of calcium.

It is preferred to use item 1 & 2 from same brand. Otherwise you will experience ionic imbalance.

The rest of the additive you can buy later. But u have to know the 3 above first

I also use quite a few Aquaz... a couple Aquapharm, 1 seachem...

Aquaz mostly Hydro range, so easy to dose.
