Hi Ian,

Looks very nice, BB as well?

Are you using any additives? (Kalk ect ?)

ATB

Ian

[Buster]

Thanks both, BB yep way to go. (For me anyway)!. I have not used any kalk as yet but I am thinking of starting very soon, once I read up on it some more. In the sump is a 4" deep mineral mud sump running three types
of algea, I water change 10% every three to six weeks using seachem reef pro salt. I do add aragamilk to my topup water.

[MR Teee]

Great tank Buster, Love the barebottom look and the LPS.

[Gillybaby]

Your tank is looking fantastic Ian. Hard to believe its only a year old, seems very mature and healthy.

Hi ian, how much Aragamilk do you add per gallon of top-up, I am using it in my tank (as recommended by Chris) but my Kh and calc are always low. I put 1 drip in per gallon of top up (as stated on bottle IIRC).

Ta, Chris.

[Buster]

Hi Chris, I don't have an exact dosage I have a topup res of 5 gallon and usually just squirt the aragamilk in. :eek: a couple of quick squirts and thats it. lol reading that back sounds a bit iffy.:D H.T.H:)

[Blue]

This is really only for remineralising the r/o, you can not overdose with it either. If your calcium and kh are low then you are better off with a stronger brand that specifically raise calc or kh or both. Aragamilk will not raise it sufficiently, but is good at stabilising the levels you already have.:)

[Buster]

Well after upgrading my lights I could not resist buying this Brain coral.

Wow, you've got a great range of colour in that tank. I like it a lot. All you need do now is sit back and watch the corals grow into the spaces. Its only going to get better and better ;)
