i took your advice, and now am down to using only using turbo calc,
superbuffer, and an occasional, bi monthly, addition of only coral acell,
phytoplankton, then monthly essential elements and coral vite. keeping the
iron, iodine on the shelf, and wont re-up on my strontium.
The Mad Sciencetist is not mad anymore, haha.

ah, hah, good advice, thankyou. its the thing i would like, yet cant
afford. anything over 40 dollars gets kinda expensize most of the time
with
my budget. i have to buy another 5 gallon bucket of salt and renew my
dKh
buffer solution, and strontium and molybendum
supplements,........................



I'd venture to guess your just wasting money on all of these but the salt.

unless you have a system that consumes these elements, and you'd be
testing
for them rather then just adding it because a bottle said
so...............you don't need to be adding them. sps/lps require
strontium if they are in large numbers in the system and deplete it more
then the water changes replenish it.

get the skimmer, then test kits before you dose anything. don't dose
what
you don't need in a system just because you like to play mad scientist
