Supplements

Samper · 08-08-2004, 09:22 PM

For my 20g I was planning on ordering 5 small cuttings from Garf within the next 5 months. Would you recommend that I use the following guidelines as far as supplements go?

Tank Size = 20 High
Qty Description 2 Teaspoon Reef Plus twice a week 2 Teaspoon Reef Complete twice a week 2 Teaspoon Reef Calcium twice a week 1 Tablespoon Reef Advantage Calcium added to each gallon of makeup water during the 2nd and 4th weeks. 1 Tablespoon Reef Builder added to each gallon of makeup water during the 3rd week of each month.

No, I would recommend you use one of the popular 2-part additives that are available nightly, and when needed to for make-up water and that is it. Kent, ESV, Ocean Blend; any of these would do the trick and work to provide your tank a balance for calcium and alkalinity, that is it. No excess supplements that you are not aware of.

So, dripping kalk is all.....
how about feeding?
Is there an all around food that would be wise to get or is the food determined by each specific invert?
