I don't think there is any one magic additive for all tanks. It depends upon your loading and especially in heavily SPS populated tanks, Mag and potassium are consumed quickly. Iodine is very important for LPS, clams and crustaceans IMO. So, I add all three as individual doses no matter what else I might be doing. Even when the reactors are on line, I'll dose these at least weekly. Iodine, I dose daily always, you can see the responce in my deresa if I don't.

Bax do you have a pic of the clam? I never know you needed Ioding for clams? I just had one die on me after 8 years....It was a monster, but I do not know for sure what kind it was. I was thinking Deresa, so I want to compare it to yours

Taz, forgot to post these. Here's my Deresa
This is the Deresa beside my old Squamosa ... RIP :'(
I've been way to busy at work to do the plumbing! But! I've got it all laid out, just need time to glue it!
A Savko order may give me inspiration!
Some of it is for work stuff, but some will go into a new RODI distribution and SW mix set up.
I need to jump on ventilation as my enclosure is now working against me with late afternoon temps reaching 85 deg F!!! I have some of those parts but need a few more pieces .... and time :
I've added circulation fans and that's helped a bit.

No such luck Jim. My high for the day was near 85 and easily a low of 74.
I agree, swings of up to 7 degs are kinda OK if they happen slowly, and regularly. But, you've seen my industrial set up, temp management is extreme! I was in full cool down mode and had everything working against me when the temps dropped. I was having a busy family weekend and missed the forcast, and all together got caught off guard!!! I got back late tonight and looked with a flash light, I have STN happening to many of my SPS :-[
At the moment I am just hoping not to be faced with a complete SPS crash!!!

Wow!
Thanks to the Board for getting the site back up!
Yikes! We lost a whole year of posts!
Bummer! There was some good stuff there!
I guess I'll take the opportunity to start a new thread? Or should I keep this one rolling?
My view and post count record is gone for ever!!!! :'(

Yea, last I remember, this thread was over 75 pages. I don't remember seeing any other TotT threads quite that long.
I'll need to update my thread too. It's been way too long since I've updated it.
