Thanks Randy, I will take you up on that offer. I work at a LFS so I wanted to get some opinions as I have been disconnected from the hobby for awhile. One thing that I have learned very quickly is that the representatives and companies themselves know what they are talking about, so I cant seem to trust them.
What I am currently using in my tank at the store is:
Caribsea Purple up ( after some discussion in another forum, I found out it doesnt add calcium to the tank in the way as an actual calcium additive, which is what I was told by someone) I am going to replace it with Brightwell Reef Code A and B starting next week.
TLF- combisan
Kent- Coral Vite and Strontium and molybdenum
Also using Kent Lugols solution ( 1 oz. bottle with the dropper, I believe its called the pro series?)
I am dosing the tank once a week with the above items with the exclusion being the lugols solution which I am dosing once every 2 weeks.
The main corals I am taking care of are some Large caulastrea and a Large Leather coral and a large Riccordea ( prob about 6 inches in diameter)
Interested in feedback if you believe I am better off using different products? The leather is somewhat bleached at times ( more times than not). The caulastrea looks healthy but doesn't seem to be growing larger. The riccordea looks extremely healthy and seems to be doing very well as it has gotten much larger since I have been doing maintenance to the tank recently.
The tank is a 150G tank with an Aqualight Pro (PC and MH) fixture. The tank was a mess since I took it over from someone who neglected it for awhile ( probably around 2 years+) so as of right now, all of the corals are on live rock that is about 5-10" max off the bottom of the tank. After every water change I do ( usually around 20-30G), I dose the tank with the appropriate amounts of everything listed above for the amount taken out.
I have been very busy the last few weeks doing maintenance on the tank so I am not sure if I did too much at once and agitated the Leather coral. As i said before though, I replaced the water with additives when the new water was added.
Look forward to your opinions/responses.
