Well I have been slowly getting a little more in tune with the need of my reef tank and since I am getting into SPS a little more I think I need to start adding things to my tank.
So I started to add Mrs Wages Lime to my top-off tank this week, I set up the tank a few weeks ago with a float switch and pump system (by the way it's the best thing in the world to have a auto top off!)
What else do I need to add in to compliment the lime water?
Some have said to use B-ionic two part.
Well here is a little info about my tank:
Tank...
75g RR, 29g sump, 15g top-off
ER skimmer, 2 Seio 820's, Mag 12 return
2x175 10k MH 10hrs day, 2x110 VHO 12hrs day
Additives...
15g wc every 2 weeks and would add in a "Balance Block" every now and then... thats it.
Feeding...
I have 2 clowns and a pseudochromis who I feed every 2 days some flake Formula 1 and I spot feed the lps, rics and shrooms once a week and mixture of cyclopez, mystis, sliversides and oyster pearls.
A cap full of DT's phyto once a week.
Water...
Oceanic Salt/1.024-.026
Hate to say I have not tested it in a while so I will have to get some numbers. I have a good RO/DI but have not tested the water since we just moved but have not had any real algae out breaks. Just added a auto-top that is feed by a 15g tank in the basement (future sump room) with a mag7.
Sump...
3 chambers, Skimmer/Bubble trap/fuge w algae, LS, LR/ Filter/Return. This set-up seem to do a real good job of getting detris trapped in the skimmer chamber, the bubble trap and filer really stop the mirco bubbles from getting in the display.
