    Vita chem vs Red Sea AB+

    I’m running out of AB+ but have a big bottle of Vita Chem that I’ve been dosing 1/week. I want to start using it more and fell like this is the perfect time to bump up the dosage since I’m almost out of AB+. It has small particles in it that seems like it would be good for Acros etc. has anyone...

    Browned Acropora: Best Amino Acid? (poll)

    Hello All, I inherited a bunch of browned-out acorpora. What is the best way to get them back to their original, healthy colors?

    Accidentally Dosed Spoiled Amino Acids

    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...

    Nitrate Levels in Aquaria vs Wild Reef Nutrition

    I often wonder how wild reefs are able to grow and thrive with such low levels of dissolved nutrients - namely nitrates and phosphates. I have an SPS/Acropora dominant tank and I maintain KNO3 solution on a dosing pump just to keep the corals alive - I try to maintain nitrates up to 5ppm...
