I use Sea-Lab #28 Auto. Replenisher..you can get them at
Fishsupply.com, I get them for a pretty good deal at my LFS. I've
stopped using any other suppliments. I've been using them for about 6
months and everything is quite healthy.
Just an idea.

The blocks are made to take the guesswork out. They dissolve based on
natures need for balance. A tank your size would require about 3
blocks at a time. They maintain a CA of about 450, along with a
number of other substances.

yes was looking at that when I reviewed the fish supply.com link to
sea-lab#28 . The dissolve rate or lasting power between adding new
blocks averages what evry two weeks, three weeks, a month?

I have a 75 gallon, about 90 gallons total water volume. I use 2
blocks at a time, they last a bit less than 2 weeks. Depends
completely on the needs of your individual system, and how fast it
consumes the substances that he blocks replace.
