Aquarium Advice Freak
ok so i just got my live rock today from LR.com and its wonderful. I couldn't be happier. but in the note they sent with it they said they use Seachem reef advantage calcium every odd ay and seachem reef iodide every odd day. i thought that the whole idea of using the berlin method and using live rock was so that your tank was more "self-sufficient" so to say. Does everyone douse their tanks every other day with these chemicals? i haven't gotten a calcium test yet or an iodine one. i know, shame on me for buying the LR without being fully prepaired. but i honestly din't think id need these test until i started thinking about fish.
im just curious what everyone else does. or would do with my set up.
this is my set up....
10 gallon tank
10lbs of LR from Liverocks.com
neptune HOB filter
Profile 600 powerhead
100 W heater that came with my 29 gallon tank kit
standard florecent light.
I'm not really going for a reef aquarium, mainly just FOWLR and whatever coral that may be on my LR that can live with just my florecents for now.
any advice will be greatly appreciated!
TIA!
