    Hello everyone, I've been looking at what the optimum levels of calcium, magnesium & alkalinity are (after being advised that 1440ppm mg is a little too high) and have found the books say 420-500ppm (ca), 1200-1300ppm (mg) & 8-12dkh. I understand that if any of these levels were too high it...

    I am new to reef keeping and was wondering what additives I should add to my tank and brand. I currently add seachems, calcium and iodine. Should I be using something else or is this sufficient. I have seen Ken Marines Parts A and B is that worth adding. Thanks

    I recenly began dosing Kent Tech CB. and Iodine. The directions say to pour in a high flow area so I'm putting it right in the overflow. Will the skimmer take any if it out? Also does anyone have the site that has all the dosing calculators?

    I have heard that it is not a good idea to change the brand or type of salt once a tank is set up and stocked. Is this true? I use Reef Crystals and would like to consider other options.
