Introduction

This is an average starting point for maintaining the proper levels in a reef aquarium. Size and quantity of inhabitants determine the bio-load on the water column. Through testing, you will be able to determine the consumption rate of the bio-load. In knowing the consumption rate you will be able to know how much of each particular supplement to add.
