Supplements ?

[Alexxn]

I was wondering if I should be adding any supplements to my tank, I currently have some mushrooms, GSP, zoos, and a rose hammer. I'm not really having anything spread at all - my mushrooms look ok but again everything looks pretty much like it always had as far as size and number. Water params are always right on....advice ?

Thanks !

What are you testing for first? You should add nothing to your tank until you are sure from testing that you need it.

I test Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, Phosphates, and PH....what else should I be looking at that could be making a difference ?

Thanks !

How long has the tank been set up? It can take several months for corals, etc. acclimate. Once they do, they tend to grow quicker.

Although not as critical to the corals you have listed, I recommend testing for Calcium and Alkalinity. Indirectly, this will allow you to keep a good eye on the drivers of your pH.

It's been up for @ 6 weeks now.....maybe that's it...

I would most definitely be testing for alkalinity and calcium. I don't do any other suppimentation other than Randy's 2-part. Works great for maintaining alk/calcium levels.
