tropic marin

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.

I got a bucket of TMP that when mixed only tests at 6.5dKH; I thought that this might be one of the buckets from Turkey with known issues, but it 's from Germany. Since it's not from Turkey, it doesn't qualify for a replacement. I have a 60 gallon mixing station that I have setup for AWC; this...

So I just got a new pack of Tropic Marin classic salt. Its dKH is supposed to be 9-10 dKH, but when I mix it up it comes out to be 14 dKH!!!?!. I mixed and tossed that bag around when I first got it. Ive made two batches with the same results. I measured and used the correct salt portions: ½...

Hi all! I am glad to announce the first part of my interview with Lou Ekus of Tropic Marin USA. We've discusses the following topics in 1-st part: Basic Reef Chemistry Minor and major elements Trace elements Water parameters to measure Phosphate and Nitrate Carbon Dosing Methods of Carbon...

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

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...

Established tank, but recently switched from Tropic Marin Balling Method to All for Reef. Change was made about a month ago, and at the time my calcium was around 460ppm. Since dosing the A4R (36ml/day), my calcium just came back from ICP at 547ppm! Mag is at 1417ppm. Alkalinity is stable at...

I'm a relative newbie to dosing and I'm trying to educate myself as much as I can but with limited time to read up on it, I can't make an informed decision on my own right now. I've been dosing with baked baking soda and calcium chloride but I'd like to try Tropic Marin's Carbocalcium because it...

Hi all, Currently using AB+ but because the corals don't feed everyday I'm kind of just adding waste to the System, what's everyone's take on using Tropic marin Amino-Organic for aminos and reef-roids for food every so often that way I am not feeding everyday as i dont see my corals really feed...

Hey Everyone! I am beginning to dose on my EVO 13.5. Im going to start dosing tropic marin all for reef. I got a single dosing pump and I’m not sure where to put it. I would like to put in my third chamber as the heater, ATO, and pump is. However I’m worried that its to stagent or slow moving. I...

I'm currently doosing Tropic Marin's Original Balling Method for about the past year. I manually dose their trace elements, but have a single Bubble Magus Doser sitting around. Would it be safe to mix the two (A- & K+) together and dose these through a single doser??

I’ve been dosing the 3 part solution for a little over 6 months now. In my last ICP test, both Calc (522ppm) and Mag (1446ppm) levels were quite high with my Alk steady at 8.5. How can I get my Calc and Mag levels back lower when I’m dosing equal parts of the 3 solutions (52ml/day)? I also use...

Hi all, I've been using a 1L bottle of All-for-Reef and haven't had any issues. However, recently I've noticed clear crystals forming at the bottom of my dosing container. I've never mixed anything with this solution and I am worried that the crystallization is messing up the concentrations of...

Is anyone using the new all for reef powder? I’ve been using the liquid for a while and is clear, have just mixed up the first litre of the powdered and has slight brown colour to it. Does anyone know if this is normal?
