Water Quality Question?

[Veosk]

I am just getting into sps. I have a 29 gallon with 175watt 20k Metal Halide w/ 2 65watt pc. I feed the tank 3 times a week w/ Red Reef food. Should I be adding any supplements: magnesium, strontium, boron and potassium?
Everything in the tank right now is happy and doing well.

Thoughts?

The Monti has been in the tank for 3 months and have seen good growth. The Acro's in the tank for 1.5 months seem to be doing good.

Tanks parameters
ph 8.2
alk 8.0
Calcium 460
Temp 79

Keep your addition to:
Ca: In form of cacl
Kh: baked baking soda
Mg: mgcl

You should own those 3 test kits. I use API for Ca, and Kh: easy and cheap
Mg: Salifert

come up with daily dosing schedule that keeps ca at 400-420, kh 7-8, mg 1300-1400.

Change 3 gallons a week and keep a small amount of gfo. You will have nice acros.

If you feel like spending a bit more a Hanna phos meter is great. > .06
