Hard coral trace element mix?

[Matt181]

hi all

was just wondering, instead of having all these bottles lying around and measuring them out and what not, has anyone mixed the most important trace elements together in the right ratios to create an all in one trace element doser?

i would like to do something similar so i just have one bottle or even use one of those plant sprayers and just dose all elements at once?

im not sure if this is possible so sorry if im being dumb here!

Thanks
Matt

hmmmm, well there are definitely some that are better than others and more complete. but there are many needed elements that corals need that cannot be mixed, making one all in one supplement impossible. it is very important to get a high quality salt and do regular water changes. i have found that though my reef lives and grows with water changes every few months, it grows many many times faster with regular 5% water changes a week.

good idea though, we've all wondered the same thing at one point.
