Hey sorry for my 4th post about coral food this week

This is the last one I promise.

I was wondering if anyone uses KORALLEN ZUCHT VITALIZER not refrigerated. Because I want to hook it up to my doser and dose it Evey other day.
Reason: more precise, I can dose at the exact same time and I'm lazy .


And did you see any difference?

Also is the liquid thin enough to go through a doser or is it really thick?

And last question does it stink alot?

This is not a product that you want to dose. It’s highly concentrated coral food. You only need a few drops a week unless you got a monster system.

I did the math, 1 drop is 0.05ml. I need to dose a maximum of 12 drops which would be 0.6ml. my doser can dose this amount. Most of the times I need to dose more than recommended.

You do not want to dose this product at full strength unless your aquarium is packed to the brim with more coral than water. You will likely need less drops than recommended. Also this product has multiple different sized particles and really requires a good mix and shake before using it. It settles a lot. Overdosing will give you nasties like dinos, cyano, and algae, so be cautious with it. It's concentrated food designed for corals that are starving.

My reef tank has a high pH of 8.5-8.7 and is stuffed with corals. That's why I always have to dose more than recommended for two parts etc. and I always need to dose less for nopox because my po4 will be 0 other wise.

My best suggestion would be to buy a bottle and try it out, it is great stuff, it's just that a little bit goes a really long way.

Yeah I know I want to but the problem is that it needs to be refrigerated. So o was wondering if anyone is using it not refrigerated.
