supplements

I received some supplements when a local reefer tore down his tank. I am wondering if these should be dosed on a regular basis. Some of the bottles are low and will need replaced soon if I am to use them.
- Coral-accel (Kent)
- iron (Kent)
- Iodine (Kent)
- Strontium & Molybdenum (Kent)
- vita-chem (boyd enterprises)

It is a mixed 40g w/ 15g fuge and 15g sump.

no need for any of them, only dose what you are testing for.

the only things you may have to dose is cal., alk, and mag. everything else is prob. a waste of money and it will already be contained in your Salt

I agree with what Kau said. Unless you have a tank totally packed with corals, you *should* get enough nutrients from water changes.

Although each tank differs.

Ca and ALK occasional MAG(when needed)with regular water changes are all that you really need.
