Welp, I had a feeling this was going to happen but this is the situation I’ve gotten myself into. I found myself being extremely inconsistent with dosing Red Sea’s AB+ amino acid and looked for something that could be a more automated solution. I settled on Aquaforests amino acid they offer...
Advanced Acrylics 4-Chamber Premium Dosing Container I only used briefly.
16x6x12, each chamber can hold little more than a gallon
Locline bulkheads included, but looks like 3 of the 4 bulkheads need collets (or bulkheads replaced if you can’t find just the collet. They’re about 4$ea at Home...
Hello guys I’m here since I KNOW I shocked my corals I just want to figure out which thing I specifically did to shock my corals or if it was a mixture of it. So the basic run down,
I tested my tank and saw that my PH was incredibly low, (7.5) my magnesium was low as well (1080) my phosphates...
I’ve created a regime to really dial in my parameters. It involves daily dosing:
-0.4g kh buffer (unsure of brand)
-16g magnesium (seachem dry)
Haven’t got a calcium supplement yet.
Can people recommend good/better brands?
Am I better to stick to something like all-for-reef?
I feel like...
Hello,
TLDR - Do you prefer daily dosing KH (or others) in larger amounts at less frequent intervals? Or do you prefer dosing smaller amounts throughout the day at more frequent intervals?
I have a 91g that I just set up a couple of months ago. Only have around 9 corals in it currently, and...
I run a Red Sea reefer 525 xl

Alkalinity 9.5 currently 7.94

Selling my Dos pumps. It’s been sitting in the box on a shelf for about a year and a half now since I switched over to the versa system. This Dos works perfectly and is in great shape. $215 shipped anywhere in the U.S.
Note - I don’t use PP anymore. Zelle or Venmo preferred.
BioBase is the only supplement I still dose by hand every day which is tedious. I really want to dose it automatically as well but my pump is only good for fractions of 0.1ml. Currently I need to dose 0.36ml though. So my question is basically: If I wanted to dose it automatically (especially...
Hello!
I have a gently used Neptune DoS that I am selling now that I have swapped it for Versa pumps. The Dos has a manufactured date of "Nov 21" and was purchased on Jan 31st, 2022 from BRS. The DoS was in use for 4 months and ran only at its slowest setting to reduce noise level and extend...

Is there anyone who uses just All-for-Reef for their SPS?
I am trying to keep things simple with SPS before getting into it. But is it even possible to just use A-F-Reef dosing for SPS?
So after 10 years I finally decided to get an auto doser. Now i was tracking my alk and calcium for 4 days to find out how much to dose daily and i saw a trend where my alk drops 0.3 a day. Calcium is abit weird. Anyway today was the 5th day of testing. First day alk was 8 then 7.7 then 7.3 then...
Hello guys, I’ve got a question regarding aquaforest calcium. They say to dissolve in 1L water and dose 100ml per 100L of tank water. Well my tank is 100L and me adding 100ml of water a day to raise the calcium by 18 is gonna make my tank overflow lol. They say you can make it concentrated so...

Hi, I have a 80 gal mixed reef tank, 25 gal sump, ATO. Currently at 8.6, 422, 1230. Having a hard time getting the Mg levels to 1400. Using Red Sea's Reef Foundation system (liquid). Looki g for recommendation of using Red Sea's Reef Foundation system vs Kalkwasser? I read Kalk is a great...
Good Morning all,
I currently have a Fluval Nano 60l but I have recently purchased a Red Sea 425 G2 alongside an Apex, trident and dual dosing containers.
My plan is to cycle the big tank with the apex installed, trident etc.
However, I'm struggling to understand what I should be putting in...
I have a 6 month old 65 gal mixed reef that I’ve been dosing with all for reef. I use the powdered form and mix it myself.
Currently have mostly small lps frags but a handful of sps and softies as well. I’m waiting for my parameters to get more in line before adding in any more acros. Most of...
Does anyone happen to know an accurate weight for a ml of all for reef?
I prefer to calibrate my dosing pumps by weighting the sample rather than eyeballing a measuring cylinder. There is obviously a degree of error in this though if the weight is not just 1g / ml like water.
Been fighting low phosphates and high nitrates finally got my nitrates from around 100 parts per million to around 25. Keeping my phosphates up by dosing neophos everyday. These things used to disappear when the nitrates were out of control during the night but then would return during the day...
Hello! I am new to dosing and feel like it may be time to start dosing I’m using about 12 ppm of calcium right now per day, but my ALK is staying around 9 DkH. For reference, my CAL was 482 a week ago and I just measured 398 with this past water change.
I plan on testing in 24 more hours just...
