tropic marin

Is it safe to use both AquaVitro Fuel and All-For-Reef? from what I can tell, both contain some of the same trace elements? is there a risk of overdose or buildup? I do weekyl water changes of about 15% ish

Hi, My name is Hans-Werner Balling and I am doing R&D at Tropic Marin. I also have developed the All-For-Reef. Iodine is a very important trace element for coral growth, coloration and polyp extension. Low iodine concentrations slow coral growth, make the brown color fade to a pale...

Established tank, but recently switched from Tropic Marin Balling Method to All for Reef. Change was made about a month ago, and at the time my calcium was around 460ppm. Since dosing the A4R (36ml/day), my calcium just came back from ICP at 547ppm! Mag is at 1417ppm. Alkalinity is stable at...

I'm a relative newbie to dosing and I'm trying to educate myself as much as I can but with limited time to read up on it, I can't make an informed decision on my own right now. I've been dosing with baked baking soda and calcium chloride but I'd like to try Tropic Marin's Carbocalcium because it...

Hi all, Currently using AB+ but because the corals don't feed everyday I'm kind of just adding waste to the System, what's everyone's take on using Tropic marin Amino-Organic for aminos and reef-roids for food every so often that way I am not feeding everyday as i dont see my corals really feed...

Hey Everyone! I am beginning to dose on my EVO 13.5. Im going to start dosing tropic marin all for reef. I got a single dosing pump and I’m not sure where to put it. I would like to put in my third chamber as the heater, ATO, and pump is. However I’m worried that its to stagent or slow moving. I...

I'm currently doosing Tropic Marin's Original Balling Method for about the past year. I manually dose their trace elements, but have a single Bubble Magus Doser sitting around. Would it be safe to mix the two (A- & K+) together and dose these through a single doser??

I’ve been dosing the 3 part solution for a little over 6 months now. In my last ICP test, both Calc (522ppm) and Mag (1446ppm) levels were quite high with my Alk steady at 8.5. How can I get my Calc and Mag levels back lower when I’m dosing equal parts of the 3 solutions (52ml/day)? I also use...

Hi all, I've been using a 1L bottle of All-for-Reef and haven't had any issues. However, recently I've noticed clear crystals forming at the bottom of my dosing container. I've never mixed anything with this solution and I am worried that the crystallization is messing up the concentrations of...

Nitrate increases zooxanthellae population density and reduces skeletogenesis in corals. To reduce nitrates in the aquarium: -Do larger, more frequent water changes -Reduce bioload and/or reduce feeding -Carbon dosing: try a liquid nitrate remover or use biopellets in a media reactor -Start a...

Is anyone using the new all for reef powder? I’ve been using the liquid for a while and is clear, have just mixed up the first litre of the powdered and has slight brown colour to it. Does anyone know if this is normal?

Hey all, I just dosed my last bit of Red Sea (RS) magnesium this morning and calcium plus isn’t far behind. Instead of reordering the Red Sea I’ve had my eye on the Tropic Marin ALL-FOR-REEF BRS has some great reviews and it’s been sold out during covid times. I’m wondering what folks think...

I don't like all of the plastic that comes with the Aquaforest Balling kits and my wife has been pushing our household to use less plastic container so i want to start mixing my own using the original Tropic Marin powders. Technically they should both be the same chemicals, so do i need a...

I was looking through some options for trace elements and noticed Tropic Marin PRO-CORAL K+ includes copper? I was under the impression any amount copper is deadly to inverts like shrimp and coral...

so I’m thinking about using tropic Marin’s carbo calcium. I have a highly dominant sps tank and sps frag tank. I’ve heard that the carbo calcium and kalk are a great combo. I’m curious if anyone else is using this combo and why? Thanks all!

Hello, I'm having a hard time to decide on the subject issue. I currently use Tropic Marin Pro-Reef salt, and my tank parameters are somewhat stable since i currently have 3 corals and a BTA, an some small fish, so my bio-load isn't heavy at all. Testing the saltmix i'm currently using, i...

Hi Randy and everyone else too :) I have just restarted an aquarium with cycled dry rock ( cooked in a trash can for 2 months after being cleaned with acid and bleach ) I also used lanthanum to lower any remaining phosphates. I thoroughly rinsed the rocks prior to adding to the new tank. I...
