3 gallon softy reef

[Guest smal12]

Hey yall I have a 3 gallon deco wt 50/50 13k day light not sure what watt. But im putting one frag of xenia, one rock of mshroom n one zoa. Im gettin the mshrm this weekend from my work, But the question is im gonna use bionic a and b for additives and essencial elements for inverts and finnal micro vert for food. I want any suggestions of any thing else i need them by saturday bc the coral goes in sunday.

 

Questions. how much bionic should i use and micro vert. How often should i use it. my light is on for 7 hours. (yea i got a timer on it) Finnally should i ad before i get the coral or as.

I add micro vert to my pico very very sparingly and pretty rarely, I would even bother with the other two

You have this thing with double posts,

skip the two part and occasionally add the microvert

Those corals are almost entirely photosynthetic so i'd probably only dose the food once a week or so. You'll have virtually no calcium use, so bionic part #2 won't really be necessary. bioinic part #1 keeps your alkalinity in check - you'll probably have very little use - water changes will replace all the minerals you need. Buy a test kit and test for calcium and alkalinity regularly. If you notice the values falling too quickly between water changes, then consider the bionic but you probably don't need it.

Skip the 2 part solutions as mentioned. Weekly 10-20% water changes will replenish the water.
