Softy Care

[818]

Hey guys,

What additives would you recommend to add to my tank. I was fist told to add: Salifert: All in one and Iodine?

My corals in my tank in the following week will consist of:

Shrooms
ALOT Zoas
Xenia
Leather Toadstool
GSP
Frogspawn
Polyps here and there

I was told just adding Salifert: Coral Food I would be ok? Id like to stick to Salifert since thats the easiest for me to get, the LFS sells it like 4 blocks away.

Or what Salifert additives would be the best to combine for these softies?

Thanks guys, I appreciate it!

I personally don't add any additives to my tank. I have zoos, leathers and anemones. Everything usually gets replaced with a weekly water changes, but sometimes I get lazy and do it once a month. I don't test for anything except check my salinity, ph, and sometimes I check for ammonia when something in my tank doesn't open up. I've gotten lazy and bought the five in one strips for nitrates and nitrites and dip them sometimes, even though they can be inaccurate sometimes.

Ron,

What would you say is the growing rate of your corals, are they thriving? Nice colors? Open up big?producing?

Thanks

Everything is producing. When I was doing weekly water changes, everything looked good with nice colors. Now that I change the water when I remember everything is still growing, but the colors have faded away a bit.
