Self Help - Answers to Common Reefing Questions & Problems

Adding Trace Elements

To add trace elements or not (like calcium)….’tis a BIG question for many hobbyists.  If you’re prone to researching things on-line you’ve probably run into conflicting recommendations on this & every other subject.  This hobby can be awfully confusing…especially to newcomers. 

I’ve always maintained that a huge part of my own success has been 10% weekly water changes using a high quality salt - Tropic Marin specifically.  I've found it to be the most complete in all the necessary trace elements without the contaminants other salts contain.  Yes, our natural reefs have certain levels of trace elements but do you know what level your tank has after dosing?!  Most are too high which many times results in disaster!  I do not dose as I’ve learned the hard way that dosing is basically playing with a tank’s water chemistry which almost always has negative results over time.

If you’ve got mostly soft corals, even with some stonies &/or a couple of clams, water changes are all you need to do!  Do yourself & your tank a favor & stick to your water changes & don’t skimp on salt quality.  No other salt comes close to the quality of Tropic Marin.  Will it be “Captain Crunch” or “Total” for your corals folks?  ;c)

Be kind to your reef & do your water 10% weekly water changes using Tropic Marin Salts!
