So I'm running low on a few of my supplements. I'm currently running a 100ish gallon system with refugium, LR, fish, sps, lps and softies. What would you guys recommend as far as additives? I add phyto as well as the 2 part reef fusion. I was also using that kent mag tech m and stronium which are both running low. Can you help me put together a list of what I should be adding? Or should I just be focusing on more frequent water changes. thanks for the help!
 
+1 on bulkreefsupply dosing. I used a bubble magus doser and had it automated. It's a bit tricky at first, but then its almost maintenance free.
 
I was given a bunch of frags from someone dosing the BRS setup and they were all browned out due to the lack of trace elements. He was running ecotech lighting and did very few water changes. So I would consider some sort of trace elements to go along with the BRS two part. B-Ionic two part has the trace elements and is reasonably priced. I personally do not dose and just do water changes. I have about 200 system gallons and about 30 different corals, LPS, SPS, few softies. FYI the browned out corals have transformed into some stunning corals with excellent coloration doing 10% a week water changes using reef crystals. I am all setup for automated dosing but have not needed it yet. Most important thing IMO is to keep your system stable and never dose anything without testing to make sure it is necessary.
 
I dose b-ionic 2 part, Kent m magnesium, and seachem fuel. As well as a weekly water changes. Every tank is different, so you'll have to check to see which level are being depleted. And if water changes can't keep up with the replenishing, then dosing will be needed.
 
calcium alk and mag is all you need and water changes. I highly doubt the brown corals was from brs. I also believe you can run anything less then 30g skimmerles and with only water changes unless its sps dominant.
 
yeah i've been using the two part fusion additive works great but I dont add a whole lot on top of the water changes.
