My tank is fairly new and I only just started dosing when I won the Caribsea coral up bundle at last months BRS raffle and have been really pleased with the results. I had planned on starting dosing with BRS 2 part and had already purchased the dry Soda Ash and dry Calcium Carbonate with mixing jugs to start dosing when I won.
The Coralup just ran out and I have mixed the new 2 part to start using tomorrow and am nervous as I have never had corals do as good as these are doing right now. In my old tank I had more coral skeletons than corals and never had any luck with SPS.
My tank is about 90 gallons and I was only dosing 1 capful of Calcium and 2 capfuls of the Alk and it has been maintaining perfect numbers.
Anyone dose 2 part like the BRS 2 part? how much should I start with in a 90 gallon tank, pretty light load with just a handful of corals. I have the salifert test kits and will be monitoring daily once I start. I was thinking 1 ounce to start each morning, is that a good number to start with?
I hope I am not making a mistake by switching.
Here are some of my favorite corals and then a video at the end so you can see how light I am on corals.
By the way all these pics were taken with the google Pixel 2 and the built in digital zoom, For a camera Phone I am quite happy.
My favorites are the ones I got from Greg Hiller at the meeting
Solomon Island Mushroom Look at that Polyp Extension and those short ones on the right is all new growth
This Green Slimer and Monitpora Hispada have some insane growth, on that monti the lighter colored edges is all new in a month
These two chalices from Greg, Hollywood Stunner and Becs Pink and Green I think are both showing great outer edge growth and check out these closeups, not sure if they are polyps but very fleshy and extended
I wish I knew the name of this one from Greg but i call it my Blueberry Acro. This thing had huge flat cuts in the top that have completely healed over and growing new Polyps
These two I got from Divers Den a Weeping Willow Toadstool and Aussie Duncan, the Weeping willow is tiny but growing and the duncan gets bigger everyday
Here is the quick video of the tank with my fav the Solomon Island Toadstool as the start
Wish me luck and appreciate any advice
