I have a 1,6X60X75 tank (total of 700 litres) with the usual (DSB, Seachem Matrix in reactor etc.) under LED's.
The system has been running for 3 years, and over the last few months I found a proven success with dosing kalkwasser. It keeps my Ca, PH and KH in check and works fine for the needs of my tank. I do a water change (NSW) of 100 litres every two weeks.
My LPS's (Goniapora, Frogspawn, Hammer coral, Elegance, Cuo coral etc.) thrive, and the SPS's are also doing fine.
Although some softies like Xenias and Leathers are happy, most of my polyps are dying off, slowly. I even managed to kill two colt corals over a period of a few months, and they are considrered to be as tough as nails!!!
My parameters are all in check, not perfect, but good enough to keep the LPS's and SPS's happy.
I would buy a rock that is covered with polyps, and within two to three months they just seem to deteriorate. (see attached pics)
The only thing I haven't tried (it seems) is dosing Iodine.
What would you guys say?
