    Default What kind of additives do you use?

    I was trying to get some ideas of additives to use in my tank. I would like to use to simplest way. If there is a all in one that someone would knows about that I can start using.

    Also is there a type of food you like also.

    Has anyone ever used "Purple Up"

    you will get mixed results with this. I myself try to add as little as possible to the tank. I dose very little strontium and myoblium (hope I spelled right) I do this for my clams. other than that I dose nothing.

    and as for food. I use flake and a home made "mush" consisting of: clams,scallops,cyclopeeze,oystereggs,nori and some vitamin supplements

    I run a CA reactor so I don't add anything other then my usual water change. But I am beginning to start to add potassium to my tank. I am waiting for my test kit to come in before I start to dose it. Zeovit is sold out at the moment.
