I was wondering if someone could recommend some supplements that I need to purchase to keep my hammer coral and a colony of polyps happy an thriving... what brand is the best?
I use Kent Marine's Phytoplankton and Coral Accel, but most will tell you the Coral Accel is not necessary. I also use Microplankton, but I have some very small filter feeders.
It's probably not the best, but I've had some luck with them.
I love DT's plankton. It is actual live plankton and great for filter feeders as well. For my corals...they ussually just get what they can at feeding time.
Get some 2 part calcium and alkalinity additive like ESV B-ionic and do regualr water changes and you will be fine. All the trace elements will be replaced through water changes. You can also try and directly feed a hammer coral with frozen fish food.
i wanted to thank all of you for the info. I got a Kent reef starter kit with liquid cal, Iodine and Strontium & Molybdium. I also got some of DTs inver food. What other things should should I get???
