I have only just dipped my toes into the coral world, and have just sitched from an 'off the shelf' calcium additive to a loclly mnufactured, two-part additive. Since its local, the name probably wont mean nything, but hopefuly the componants will.

calcium ----------- carbonate
magnsium ---------- sulfate
strontium --------- bicarbonate
potassium --------- bromide
lithium ---------- hydroxide
barium ----------- iodide
boron ----------- flouride

directions callfor no moe than 5 ml of each at a time. LFS aid tat I will get an almost immediate reading from this, whereas the other that I was using is buffered, no reading right away, harder to adjust levels.
this is manufactred by Coral Reef Research in Tamarac FL, its called NatuReef

It has instructions for drip as well as manual-no distinction for tank-size though.

anyone familiar? I used 5 ml of each yesterday, I dont see much of a rise today

I've seen it on shelves of LFS and heard them hype it but haven't tried it. Why? Because I'm having great success using Ocean's Blend 2 part and Magnesium additives. Also a local company, Orlando. Been using OB for five years with great results.

The Owner of OB is speaking at our up coming meeting. He'll take your questions, I'm sure.

Sorry.. I'm not familiar with it. I will say, I've used B-Ionics to get my levels up, and then simply dripped Kalk to keep them there.

I'm looking forward to it!!! I wonder if my LFS has his product on shelf. Do the elements look the same?


I somehow posted this thread twice, someone isnt going to appreciate the extra work:unsure: sorry:love!:

I'm not sure. It can be purchased through "The Cultured Reef". :agree: He'll most likely bring product to give away.

You'll have to ask Russell about ingredient comparisons.

Dick

I should always check with you first :love!:

Well, Im back up for air!! I think this church directory is done! A couple of details only remain! Now I have a chance to find out about smoking mexican turbo snails!

You should not smoke snails. :)
