What does everybody use to dose trace elements?

I've noticed the color of my corals are fading. They're always open and seem healthy but the colors are not as vibrant as they were when I first put them in my tank. Any idea what's happening?

I've been using the regular instant ocean salt for years but now I'd like to switch to Reef Crystals. Does anyone thing that would be too much stress on the system? Or no big deal?

I'm planning on switching to the all in one biopellets. I'm wondering if I should slowly convert over? I'm currently running eco biopellets. Should I mix some all in one pellets with the eco pellets for awhile then finally end up with only all in one pellets?

Last saturday I bought two clams. So far one's dead and the other one doesn't look good. They are maxima clams I put in the sand under radions. I wonder if they didn't get enough light. I have them at 30% because I thought the radions were bleaching my coral. Could that have been the reason the...

Can you set the bubble magus doser to dose once a week? If so how? Separate question. How can you dose tech-m? All the stuff falls down to the bottom.

Anybody dose bacteria? If so what do you use? Also how do you test for that?

About two months ago I started running bio-pellets. I defiantly seemed to lower my phosphates but now it seems to just stay at 0.3. Should I add more pellets? Or? Also the pellets don't seem to reduce in size. When should I start seeing that?

I'm looking for some more information on what are some good types of food to feed my corals. I've been using marine snow but not sure if any of my corals like it. I mostly have leathers, zoas, softies with a few LPS, and SPS. What are you guys using?

So my new awesome rock nem that was out for all to see has decided to hide in a really small crack in one of my rocks. I'm so bummed. It was really awesome. Is there anything I can do get him to come out?

I came home from work today to find my sump had a bunch of foam in it. The skimmer looked like it overflowed. I haven't adjusted it or anything recently. I did do a water change yesterday but it looked good a few hours after I was done. Any ideas what could have caused this?

I'm trying to decide what Koralia to buy. I need more flow in my tank but I don't want to go crazy. Just enough to move some water and keep crud off my corals. I have a 90 gallon tank with mostly softies. I've been looking at the 850 or the 1150. Any suggestions?

I have a seaside carbon reactor that's fully packed and sponges on top and bottom. I decided to buy the reef octopus mf-1000 just because I could fit it better under my tank. The Reef octopus doesn't have any sponges to stop the carbon from moving. I've heard that the carbon could become a mess...

A week ago I installed a reef octopus BR-140 on my 90 gallon reef tank. My phosphates were reading about 0.52ppm. I tested again yesterday and my phosphates are reading 0.33ppm now. Looks like we're heading in the right direction. I'm worried the BR-140 is too big. Is this thing going to wipe...

Anyone have any recommendations for a digital magnesium tester? I've been looking at the Hanna Instruments HI96752. Thoughts?
