Re: 29 Gallon BioCube Upgrades and Questions Oceanic Salt doesn't include all the chemicals Reef Salt does. As far as adding too much calcium or idodine, you'd be hard up to do it. I keep my calcium levels at about 100ppg higher than recommended and everything thrives that filter feeds. It's been that way for 9 months. I've only had a setup for a little over a year, but I am a marine biologist so I know more about fish than most people playing the guessing game. Alot of what you read is BS. People try to make aquariums sound 100 times more complex than they really are. Bio-cubes also have plenty of light for most all anemones, so there's no point in wasting money on another one. Any and all skimmers that use the wood chunk are a hunk of crap and you may as well save your money. You may get some pretty bubbles, but that's about it. They suck more good minerals out than bad proteins. Your tank needs minerals. Add them. Simple as that. Double the does the first time and go from there. It's far from rocket science as many will lead you to believe. |
