first ever tank supplementation
hey guys,
I've had my tank running now since last october. and I've always been against the idea of supplementing my tank if I'm not prepared to test it on a regular basis. so up until now the only thing I've been adding to my tank is amino acids along with doing regular weekly water changes. but I've decided i want to start adding more supplements. main reason for this is because i feel like while my corals are seeing a good amount of growth, i think they have lost some colour. at first i thought it was all in my head. but i just recently added an ultra cataphyllia and it was the most fluro yellow thing i have ever seen in my life when i first got it, and its been in there less then a week now and i think its already lost a bit of its fluro colour. my green tip tree corals tips seem to be less green, along with my purple tip cats tips..still some of it could be in my head and my eyes just getting used to the colour but i don't think so. i was looking into buying the red sea colour supplements but when its when i start looking into supplements that the hobby gets real confusing and complicated to me so i need a little bit of guidance and advice into what should i start supplementing, whats really necessary to supplement and what are the best ones to buy..cause i asked the guy at my LFS and he was ready to sell me like 1200 bucks worth of crap.
