who doses what in their large systems?

[enemec1]

I am looking for what people are dosing in their reefs as far as calcium, magnesium, strontium,

and who test for magnesium, strontium?
I use the Kent products what are your opinions abut them?

 

[danskim]

Kent is fine, but for larger tanks many people buy the bulk chemicals and make their own solutions/mixes.

I dose limewater(kalk) at saturation ie2tsp per gal for top off. I also run a calcium reactor. I also dose magnesium chloride when needed.I test cacium and alkalinity every two seeks and magnesium every 2 months.

I use a calcium reactor with 80% calcium media and 20% Zeovit magnesium media, and I run all my top off water through a Kalk stirrer.

 

[jnarowe]

I use a Ca reactor with Gen-X media and run all top-off water through a kalk stirrer.

mflamb,
Do you have any pics of the reactors set up you can post?

 

[mflamb]

Kalk stirrer is the one on the right.

Calcium/Mag reactor.

The DIY reactors before connecting to the system.

No, I was part of a group build. I supplied labor and cash. Someone else did all the plans and materials aquisition.
