well im starting over. i have a 220 g fish only with 220 lbs of live rock. i realize this is a reef forum, but im thinking people here know there stuff about supplements. anyway i started the tank 7 months ago and started slowly adding fish and after a couple months i had ich and had to start over.
so now, 40 days later im ready to start back. i blame my tank crash on mainly bad water quality. ph was usely 7.9, calc 350, alk 12+, with a too small a skimmer.
now i have a euroreef 12-1, and am ready to keep perfect water params. just not sure how. i know a good bit about chemistry, it just seems there isnt much info about additves for a system like mine. some say just water changes, others that i need to add kalk, 2-part, etc. most importantly i want to keep a stable ph for my fish. the calc and live rock looks are second. the live rock seems to be thriving even though i have no excess coralline growth. basically i just need a good additive regimen. im not that picky or paranoid, or rich. im just looking to back started right, i have the skimmer, now i need the right supplements.
i was thinking just kalkwasser and a liquid buffer. alternating days. but ive been reading alot and i think maybe using my 2.5g kent dripper to dose kalkwaseer constantly. by mixing it for a day and pouring the top of the liquid into my dripper and adding buffer when neccessary. by like i said before im confused?
