My daily dosing routine is:
- 3ml TM Bacto Balance
- 3ml TM Elements A-
- 3ml KZ Flatworm Stop (I had AEFW and this helped me a lot to win the battle, I'm dosing it for prevention)
Weekly 1 spoon of TM Reef Actif (man, the growth just exploded!)
My nitrates are 25-50 on Salifert (I'm just ignoring it) and my last PO4 test was several months ago, it was 0.09 (I'm not ignoring, just not testing)
My export system is:
- 3L of Siporax
- Nyos Quatum 160
- Chaeto sandwich
I took my MarinePure block offline, I think it was doing nothing for my system.
I know my colors could be much much better, but I'm really happy how my tank is doing now. Nothing dies, everything grows at a good pace and when I look at my tank all I see is vibrant and happy corals (and lots of tiny vermetid snails :uzi::uzi::uzi
.
Stop chasing numbers for me.

Hey Sergi.
How is everything goin currently? Are you still dosing everything you were back in November and at the same levels, especially interested in reef actif. Awesome to see how the tank responded over the past year.
With your nitrates and phosphate levels that high, do you have any algae or do you have a large clean up crew?
Also, are you two part dosing or do you have a calcium reactor? I couldnt find it anywhere unless I missed it.

Hey Cody,
My tank is currently in good shape. I've been disconnected from forums due to no spare time for it. I had an AEFW comeback and I had to do something, so I bought an Halichoeres melanurus and an Halichoeres chrysus. These are awesome fishes and adapted perfectly to ohter inhabitants, my anthias are much more active now with them patrolling the tank. Fish + fw stop did tle trick to control the plague so pretty happy after all.
I'm still dosing Reef Actif and what I've seen is more life (sponges) and faster coral growth but nothing spectacular. I've not seen a decrease in my nitrates levels, but I was not looking for it.
My dosing routine has not changed since my last post.
I've never had an algae problem. I do have some but nothing to worry about or ugly to my eyes. I do have some chaeto growing at a good pace in a chaeto sandwich hosting sooooo many microfauna...
I'm using a Calcium reactor, the superb Korallin 1501. The best purchase I've ever done for my tank.
How is your tank doing Cody? I'll have to get some spare time to read the thousands of new posts in my subscribed list.

Awesome, glad to hear that! hopefully you can get some spare time lately to take some updated pictures.
My tank is going good lately too. I actually just bought a Korallin 1501 too and hooked it up beginning of this month and I can already see an increase in growth and colors. Really excited to see how the tank will respond in the next couple months.
