jetskisteve Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 what was the KH? In theory if u do it weekly no supplements needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Didn't Raglan have an onshore wind? If so the water might have been dirty. Salinity 1.028, you should add a bit of fresh water & thin it down to 1.025, the same as the reefs. Not critical, but will make it easier on the fish as they will not have to work so hard keeping their own salinity inline. There is some evidence that corals may grow faster in higher salinities, but even if so, it may simply be due to more trace elements, etc. Adding supplements depends what corals you got, probably just calcium alkalinity & magnesium, but even this may not be needed for some corals.
