Mixing an (un)intentional concoction: Do you know what you are adding to your reef tank?
There are many approaches to dosing chemicals and additives into a reef tank including three-part, two-part, single-part All-for-Reef, plenty of modified methods, and so much more. Whether you are trying to adjust pH, provide extra materials for corals to grow their skeletons, or trying to maximize the health of your tan, it can be helpful to understand the impact of what you are dosing into your tank. Some reefers understand all the chemical interactions, others understand the cause-and-effect of adding certain additives, still others are following a predetermined recipe, and then some are seemingly adding random stuff and hoping for the best. What about you – do you know what you are adding to your reef tank?
