Been in the hobby about 25 plus years, I have a 450 gallon mixed reef that is always a work in progress
I have a large skimmer, sump system is outside so lots of fresh air and I do run a calcium reactor. I am planning on replacing the probe this weekend as the one in there might be drifting, I will report back.
I got it from Amazon and yes it does get expensive but just wanted to give it a try to see if it makes a difference. You are welcome to come and see my setup at any time. I wish I knew who I am talking to ๐ค๐ค๐ค
I just started to dose Fauna Marin Multi Elements A & B. Alk is kept in check with a reactor. I have been doing ICP tests fairly regularly and adding whatever is deficient as per their recommendations. After many months of pure frustration tank is starting to thrive, now only time will tell.
