all for reef

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...

Hello, Relatively newbie here. I have a question about mixing the all for Reef powder. Mine seems to stay fairly cloudy even though I have mixed it over an hour with a stir plate. It’s been a couple days and I turn the mixer on for 5 minutes on the hour. Does anyone get all for Reef to...

Situation: I have a waterbox 90.3 that I upgraded into from a system that was 2 years old and started 1 month ago today. while I knew that I would come into some chemistry issues, this one kind of stumped me to the point of needing some help and or a plan of action. i set the tank completely...

Hi there, I just checked my parameters and my alk and calcium are both very low: Alk ~5 dKH Calc ~350 I measured both with Hanna Checker. I ordered some all-for-reef to get into dosing but can I also just add a bit more the first several days to get around 8 dKH en 450 calc? After I get to that...

I currently use all for reef from tropic Marin and I am having issues of clogged dosing lines due to crystallization. I’m hoping by switching to carbo-calcium it will be better not clogging from not being a fully saturated solution. Has anyone had issues with carbo-calcium crystallizing on...

Hi Guys, I use Tropic Marin Pro Reef salt and I've recently started using All for Reef instead of Red Sea Foundation A, B & C. However, I've been told that All for Reef has what Red Sea Colours (ABCD) also contains? If this is true, then dosing Red Sea Colours is no longer necessary? Many...

My corals lose colors in a matter of days and some take weeks or just look pale, I’ve searched through everything and nothing helped.please help if you can!!!! I’m currently using all for reef and dosing iod by tropic marine, and use tropic marine pro salt. I have one radion g4 and two ai prime...

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...

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...

I'm...going to give All for Reef a try - who is using this product? any notes in usage are appreciated! I am going to go thru the changeover to All for Reef to simplify the dosing regimen below. Understanding that AFR has a metabolic process to raise Alk in the tank and to prevent any Alk...

So I have a 20g water box cube and my dkh drops about .2 per day. How much of the tropic Marin all for reef will increase it? But with all my rocks and coral it’s probably more like 17-18 gallons.

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

I have a well established 32 gallon tank with another 10 gallons of sump. It has been up and running for 2 years. Recently my alk has started dropping and I can't seem to get it back up. Normally I try to keep it in the 8.0 range but over the last few weeks it has continued to drop and just hit...

I currently use Red Sea Coral Pro salt which has a dkh of 11.5. I started using All For Reef on my 25 gallon mixed reef tank which I'm assuming has a dkh around 7.5 ~ 8.5. Is it worth the cost of raising the dkh of the All For Reef by addition of alkalinity? Or should I start using Red Sea's...

Hello everyone I’m just started dosing nopox in my nuvo 30 I’m starting low as everyone suggest .5 mil a day may bump it up a lil as nitrates are around 20ppm. Anyway I plan to switch over to all for reef for dosing big 3. Is it safe to use AFR with nopox? Someone mentioned AFR uses a carbon...

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...
