Dose or Reactor?

Below Sea Level · 09/19/2012, 06:48 PM

Ok so curious what people are doing for their corals in the way of additives, calcium etc.

Feel free to talk about your setup and why you do it the way you do.

I am dosing A and B manually but will be switching to a reactor soon. Looking at atomic reactors they are made by Rick out offside Tennessee reef club

And why are you choosing to go to a reactor instead of dosing?

Honestly I figure it will be a little less that I have to remember cause I forget
To dose sometime

Well, I guess I put a vote in the empty water change section. Ha ha.

I do A&B dosing.
On vacations I try to automate it but the buffer tubing gets clogged up after a few days.I might use a more dilute solution and dose larger volumes next time to prevent this from happening
My corals always look stressed when I don't talk to them on a daily basis
Strontium Iodide and Mg I do every 3-4 days.

I will be useing a reactor along with a kalk/mag doser.Planning on haveing alot of sps,it would take quiet abit of a 2 part solution to maintain steady levels in a tank bigger than a nano.
