When I first started I did a 25% water change monthly and added Fuji Gold 2X week. It kept the CA, KH & Mag at proper levels. I was adding Phytoplex, but as its a dead product with would be skimmed out quickly. I was having an NO3 problem, I could just not get it below 20.
Now, I do a 10% water change weekly w/ light vac. Currently I am dosing two part, as CA Reactor & Kalk Reactor are being repaired, when back on line I will stop with the two part. Most folks like Bionic brand, just look at the labels, they are all the same. I buy for price. I add iodine once a week, look for possium iodine, otherwise buy for price. I have only had to add Mag while using two part.
I use DT a live product, I do not see it in my skimmer right away and NO3 level is at 0. My only problem now is iodine, I could dump the whole bottle in and I am not sure that would still bring it up.
