I started my 8 month old tank with CaribSea Special Grade but got tired of rearranging the sand every morning due to flow form my two MP40s. I switched to Tropic Eden Reef Flakes which both looked nice initially and did not move due to the larger grain size. Unfortunately, after about six...

After a year and a half in the hobby I have finally upgraded. I will still be invested in my Aquatop Recife 40g cube, but man am I ready for this new journey with the Aquaforest. I have learned a ton in the last year. I have fought the most extreme algae issues and I’m still here, I’d call that...

So I'll start with saying I really wanted to like this product since addition of natural bacteria and minerals to my tank really intrigued me. I did some research before hand, so I knew that there's magnetic basalt fragments in the mud. So I dissolved the mud in a graduated cylinder in tank...

Does anyone have experience storing saltwater mixed using Aquaforest Sea Salt? I have a 20 Gallon AIO, and the most time consuming part of my weekly water changes is mixing just a few gallons of saltwater. It mixes very quickly, which is convenient. But when it comes to mixing just 3-5 gallons...

My tank tested at 7.212dKH (129ppm) and my new saltmix gives me an alk of 8.1 (145ppm). I will be doing a waterchange now but should I be raising my tank alk back up to about 8dkh where my salt mixes? I will be performing another test 24h after my waterchange to see how much it has raise the...

I received this as a gift from BRS (Black Friday promotion). Never opened. I use other dosing/supplementation. Retail is $62. You can have it for $40. No shipping as this box is heavy. :) Pick southwest Ohio (between Cincinnati and Dayton). .

Hey guys. Do you think this one will fit to this sump if i do some modifications to the sump? In the filtersock compartment. If not What do you suggest?

Hello Reef2Reef community, I'm thrilled to kick off a diary for my Aquamedic Armatus XS aquarium and share my journey with you all. I'm Tim, and my tank was established on July 19, 2023. The aquarium boasts a 7-liter capacity. Inhabitants of my aquarium: I currently have 6 sexy shrimps...

Hey all, so I’m in the market for a smaller tank for my daughters room since “she loves fish” and to have a bit more room for growout. I’m looking for something in the 25-40 gallon range. I’ve always been a Red Sea fan and still have connections through my former store for their tanks, so have...

Hi all, I noticed that BRS has a 30% off sale of this salt and I wanted to follow up with you guys to see if you'd have any qualms about trying this? Looks to be a IO Purple equivalent type salt that doesn't have the amino and probiotic additives found in AF's other salt products...

Hi, This will be my first saltwater aquarium. It will be a 50 gallon 3 feet long tank. No sump space so the filteration would be as follows 1) 22 pounds pack of aquaforest reef Rock 2) Aquaforest live sand 33 pounds. 3) Sicce 300 canister filter 4) BOYU 438 Protein skimmer Inhabitants A...

Hello, I’m finally upgrading my fish tank to 425 reefer and I’m planning to do my Aquascaping in the next few days. I have AF stone fix cement some glue and epoxy. Question is can I work with cement and wet rocks? Also would the cement last or it will fall apart? I’m planning to add glue cement...

Hi, So I’m looking at upgrading to a 5’ tank and I have found the 790 on brs but haven’t really seen much reviews/builds on the tank. Does anyone have this tank and if so what are your thoughts. Seems to be at a higher price point than others like waterbox and Red Sea. Thanks

I recently picked up an Aquaforest OceanGuard 790 from another reefer. (5’x2’x2’) As I’m planning this build, I can’t decide what protein skimmer to purchase. I had planned on buying a Reef Octopus Classic 202-S. However, the skimmer section of the AF sump is not large enough for it. I am now...

Aquarist for just over 20 years, I am on an aquamedic lagoon 400 illuminated by orphek or3 120 bars controlled thanks to 1 OSIX 120. And entirely under Aquaforest protocol with hybrid salt.

im not too sure which supplement i should switch to, so far i have been using reefcode A and B but have not seen alot of growth except for my soft corals for the past year, i saw that aquaforest had a bundle of 1+2+3+ that didnt cost alot for how much supply there was as well as saw alot of pros...

Intro: I've been away from reefing for a decade. With the fast pace of life, I have missed the patience and focus that this hobby required for success. I'm excited to get connected back into it. I have never done a build thread, but felt it would be a good practice to record the activity for...

Hey, I am on a quest for higher pH on my larger system 7.88 at night-7.95 peak daytime), I am curious, has ANYONE else seen or used this product yet? On their YouTube page, @Aquaforest keeps saying it's coming "Later this year" every time someone asks, but here we are almost DEC 2022, nothing...

I've used AF Life Source 2-3 times now according to the instructions. My corals and snails seem to like it, but my fish get very nervous when the mud clouds the water. Clowns go all the way into the anemone, blenny hides and my six-line has a panick attack (jerky movements like he is gasping for...

Hi, got 3 boxes that came in the starter pack from purchasing a tank and I only needed to use 1 box of rock as I reused the liverock from old tank. SOLD.

Hello guys, I’ve got a question regarding aquaforest calcium. They say to dissolve in 1L water and dose 100ml per 100L of tank water. Well my tank is 100L and me adding 100ml of water a day to raise the calcium by 18 is gonna make my tank overflow lol. They say you can make it concentrated so...

AquaForest StoneFix (other brand cement not available in my country). Would like to know anyone that using this cement for their aquascaping, and how long its been underwater ? Since im building large system, i am expecting that aquascape to hold at least 3-5years without falling apart...

Not going to ramble on too much here -- but if you're curious about my reefing past and current motivation, it's in my bio. This tank has 3 main goals: 1. Satisfy my desire for an SPS garden 2. Entertain and educate my young children 3. Provide leverage for a (much) larger tank utilizing point...

Hi all, I am struggling to figure out how to dose. I have a 76L tank (20 US gallons) and AquaForest say "1 drop per 100L" can I basically not use Thier stuff because my tank is under 100L?

As per title -- considering it's dry artificial rock -- would 80 lbs of Aquaforest AF rock be enough for 98G 5ft shallow tank? I assume in terms of weight it's gonna be similar to Marcorocks (or lighter according to some people). Should I get more? Or is that enough?
