Do any of you use supplements? What do you use and why? I have alot of questions about whether I should consider using some things for a few reasons:
1: I use IO salt (reportedly low Mg, my DKh is usually 7, and Ca is 400 @1.026). I have little reason to suspect any problems based on this alone, but the #'s are certainly less than what everyone considers "ideal" for a good thriving reef
2: I skim, use chemi-pure elite, and cheato....overkill? Am I removing anything I may need? Excess nutrients? Some level of nitrate is beneficial for corals...
3: I want deep colours and good coral growth.
A few of the ones I've come across in the stores that claim to fix these things are Reef Complete, Purple Up (similar to Reef complete), Reef Fuel, and Essential Elements (apparently trace and AA supps?)
I already know, don't add what you can't measure, so I'm looking more for opinions on effectiveness and experience. Call it curiosity....
