I have a 28 gallon reef tank and most of the Kent Marine line of products and trace elements. I am currently doing weekly water changes of around 3-4 gallons. How often do you recommend I add trace elements and the Kent Marine Nano part A/B to the tank?

@allstarlaxplaya4 Follow the directions in the back of the bottle to a "T" and you should have no issues. Good luck.

Yes i have watched it, but should i dose with alkalinity to bring the calcium down when my alkalinity levels are fine?? I havent been dosing with calcium in my tank for awhile i think my salt is very high with it! Im using kent reef salt.Is there anyway in the near future you can do a video on just PH?? Sorry for bothering you so much :)

@newyorksteelo I bought everything in large amounts plus there was two test kits in that purchase but don't worry I'm not crazy I didn't just go out buy all this and threw it in the tank. I tested first and I am slowly adding everything that is missing in my system. Most of what I bought I don't need right now but like you said it is not bad to have them at hand. I tested this morning and everything is looking better and my pets are doing better !!!!

@DirtyRican007 Wow, 200 bucks worth of additives, i dont know buddy. Good luck.
