I know supplements is generally a shunned topic 'round these parts, but during a search yesterday I happened upon a thread topic which got me thinking.
The thing is calcium... for a tank with lots of corals and other high calcium demand critters, clams and whatnot, I read that PWC may not get the calcium levels up high enough and supplementation would be necessary or at least helpful.
So that got me thinking. As it stands, my plan is to have lots-n-lots-n-lots-n-lots of coral/clams/whathaveyou (ok maybe too many lots buy a guy can daydream, eh?) In any case, I saw a Kent Marine gravity drip thing which was dirt cheap (relative to this hobby) and was thinking if I could put Kent Marine Liquid Reactor inside Kent Marine Aquadose 5gal would this be a feasible solution? Ive barely begun to get into the required levels for corals, so nows the time I guess, and I dont fully understand how quickly coral eats through calcium. With a beginners coral set's draw on the calcium levels, how many drops from this gravity feeder would be required? If less than one per day I can easily dilute the liquid reactor with water.
What do you guys think? [/url]
