How do you like it? Good growth with your corals? Where are you getting your ingredients? I've found much of these DIY formula's need access to the states for some of it.

Hmmm. Can you not pre-mix it in a gallon jug of RO/DI and dose it with dosers? That's what I'd be looking at doing because of the volume and my tendency to forget :)

Cool, thanks Greg, I think I'll be doing something similar. With the 5' footprint of this new tank I should be able to have some room :) Hopefully I can get a start on it this weekend.
