all for reef

I've been testing my numbers with a salifert kit for the past few months and have been dosing all for Reef everything seems to be doing fine although I still have zero nitrates and zero phosphates which puzzles me even though I've gotten rid of all my hair algae for the most part and feed all...

I've been dosing afr for months now and am seeing good results in my parameters however I still cant get my alk above 6.7 and ph above 8.15. Should I just dose more afr or use something else for the alk,just didnt want to raise everything else to much ? Was just hoping afr would take care of...

My tank has been running for 10 years. I had been using two part for years; I decided to start using all for reef. I typically keep my DKH Around 9.0. Unfortunately, during my AFR set up, I left the sodium carbonate (soda ash) portion of my two-part run for an extra day. As soon as I found out...

My ProClear200 is about to hit the 6-month mark. I have been dosing AFR since I started adding coral. Over the last two months, I have started doing regular ICP tests. Most things are right where they should be. However, I always bottom out on Iron and Manganese. As a result, I've added...

My parameters are always on the low end values and even I'm using kalkwasser, it's always depleting. My salt is af reef salt. Now I'm transitioning on using all for reef. I just want to ask if can I use both or the daily afr is already enough to maintain my parameters? Thanks! Alk - 6.85 Ca...

You can dose directly from the all for reef 500ml container with very little modification. 1. Take the nipple like adapter off and then ship top of adapter off 2. Widen hole enough for tubing 3. Feed line from bottom of adapter leaving enough to go in bottle 4. Replace adapter onto bottle...

I have a Waterbox 100.3 and it has been increasing All4Reef usage steadily. The reef will be 3 years old soon and I am currently building a room for a 235 gallon. I was hoping to hold off on doing anything to my existing reef but I am way over the recommended dosage of AFR. My best guess is I...

What's the best product to dose to raise Alkalinity when your Alk is low, the pH is normal, Calc is normal and the Magnesium is normal? 20G IM Nuvo Fusion Pro 2 Temp: 80ºF Salinity: 1.026 SG Ph: 8.1 Alk: 6.2 dKH Nitrate: 13.8ppm Phosphate: 0.24ppm Calc: 442ppm Magnesium: 1540ppm (all checked...

Hello, Just a question of curiosity. Assuming a set Alkalinity target would there be any difference in pH between using Kalk, All for Reef or 2 part ? Or would they all settle at the same pH level. I know there can be limitations to the amount of Kalk one could use based on evaporation and...

Seeking responses from seasoned reefers who have employed multiple approaches. We are talking about the simplest supplementation method for a novice hobbist to understand and apply, not the optimal one.

Hello all, I have a 25-gallon water box with soft corals, a frog spawn, and leptastrea. I also have a small derasa clam, some snails, crabs a few hardy fish. I'm saying that to see if this would affect anything. I have been using all for reef premixed ready-to-use bottle and have been dosing...

I've decided to switch from dosing 2-part to All For Reef. I see that the initial dose of All For Reef is suggested to be 5 ml per 100 liters however, on their website it looks like this only corresponds to the daily consumption of 0.28 dkh of alk. Currently my tank is consuming 0.7 dkh of alk...

Hi all, My IM 80g AIO tank has been running for just over six weeks, through the cycle. Testing shows that Alk level is nominal for Tropic Marin Pro Reef, but Ph and Ca remain low. Current averages: Alk: 7.65 dKH (Tropic Marin PR specs 7-8dKH) Ca: 280 ppm Mg: 1440 ppm pH: 7.9 For pH, I did...

Hello. I am dosing 60ml AFR daily for my sps dominated tank (400 liters). I noticed that i cannot increase the pH by using Kalk anymore. The high pH effect of Kalk last for 1 month then gone. It is likely using AFR does not keep enough buffer in the tank, so I likely cannot increase pH. Is it...

I don’t know exactly how long AFR and Tridents have been on the market, but controlled dosing using a single product seems like a Holy Grail …Perhaps enough time has passed to re-examine the data Pardon the re-hash but I did go here first: Trident controlled dosing with all for reef To AFR or...

Hey guys, any experience with mushrooms (Florida ricordeas) melting after dosing all for reef? That’s the ONLY thing that changed! All other corals, inverts, and fish are doing well and thriving. I’m testing all other parameters weekly, and nothing out of wack. All yes, I increased slowly...

I have 2 1600g dry powder All for Reef mix for sale together. The first is unopened, the second I opened recently and used about 3 scoops, estimated 90% remaining. Asking $90 shipped OBO. Keeping them together.

Trying to figure out why my calcium and magnesium levels are high. The consumption levels seem to be non existent. Tank is about 8 months old. But I used rock from another system thats about 3 years old. Salt mix I use is Tropic Marin Dosed All For Reef twice then noticed increase. Haven’t...

AFR works amazingly well at maintaining all parameters in my reef, but boy is it a PITA keeping it stable. I'm using an acrylic container and silicone tubes to run it to the tank. It's dosing in the overflow, roughly 2 inches above the waterline and never has any contact with the water...

Previously had a Red Sea XL300 (65gal display + 15gal sump) that was fairly heavily stocked and always had a problem with keeping pH above 7.9 or so. With a combination of a Kalk reactor and external air for the skimmer, I managed to fix that. It would solidly sit at about 8.3. But that's old...

Debating on whether or not to purchase the 800g or 1600g AFR powder mix. Does anybody know how long the shelflife for the powder is? I would hate to open the bigger one and not use it in the right time and it goes bad.

Im currently dosing 1ml of All For Reef daily and testing seem high on cal (~450-500) and mag (~ 1500). alk is ~8.5-9dkh. AFR direction said lower AFR and dose balling part B if high on Ca and low or same on alk. so I will cut to 0.5ml daily But can I dose red sea foundation B (alk) instead of...

Tank volume (approx): 44g Stock: low/medium bioload of Softies and LPS Salt mix: IO original The only additives I’ve ever used was Tropic Marin. My parameters were where I wanted them when I began dosing AFR. I’ve been doing the initial dose daily and checking parameters daily for a few weeks...

Hello My friends, i have a 105gallon Reef tank just lps, zoas and softies. I’ve been dosing 22ml of all for reef daily for about 9 months, alkalinity has always been stable my issue is calcium, it’s always been high im thinking of ditching all for reef and going to a regular 2-part any thoughts...

I just started adding a few smaller LPS frags into my new tank but noticed my Calcium, Alkalinity, and Magnesium were all pretty low on testing (see test results below). I decided to try just manually dosing All-For-Reef to see if I could bring the levels up. I have done per the recommendation...
