All for Reef
- Thread starter MadReefer
- Start date
Just remember you can't test the water once you dose it to know if your alk is on target. The All for Reef is ok, but it is hard to judge the dosing of it based on alk since it won't show up readily in an alk test, at least initially. After using it for a while it will show up. I now give it 4 or more hours before I run a test
No I have not tried the powder.
But the one you’re getting works just fine.
I always wait 24hrs to test using the doser to ensure the daily amount us added.
Good luck
I was dosing 130ml of the Baking soda solution daily. My concern is going away 1st 2 weeks of Dec and worried levels will drop because in April that's exactly what happened.used to love AFR but at one point be comes a bit expensive, the diy mix is pretty good, at one point I was dosing about 100ml a day
The AFR will help maintain whatever values you start with as Ca and alkalinity. It is not great for raising alkalinity, much better at maintaining it. Be aware that it will do a good job to both maintain and raise Ca level. When you run your tests, add alkalinity if low when Ca is at the correct range
Parameters 5 days later.
ALK - 8.3
Calc - 350
Mag - 1190
I did not manual dose Calc or Mag. usually dose it manually each week.
Question: Should I dose them now to raise the Calc and Mag or just leave it since everything is stable and looking good?
Mine stays in range.
My calcium stays a little bit high.
I would just let the system adjust to this numbers and only does if goes too low.
Your tank it’s lps dominant it’ll do great because it’s going to be stable
I’m happy to it’s working for you!!!
