Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Yes. Here is the list so everyone can know how great this stuff is!
-All the elements you need, the dosage based on your kh consumption. (Kh, CA, Mg, Sr, b, br, ba, k, s, Li, MO, MN, zn, I)
-bacteria and bacteria nutrition to deal with nitrate and phosphate.
Several solutions to prevent a cyano outbreak
-probiotics, various nutrients, co-enzymes and more to achieve a healthy ecosystem in the aquarium.
plant extracts, vitamins, amino acids as well as many bacteria and microorganisms to nourish the corals. These will grow more beautiful, healthier and much faster than before. This is because they are fed with every dose. This also gives the aquarist more freedom with the water paramters of the aquariums. These are compensated by the constant presence of food. Amino acids are indispensable for living animals, but corals cannot store excess amino acids for later use. If it is available on a regular basis, it is the closest thing to what nature does.
Man, I hope one of the heavy hitters weighs in on this. To me it seems fantastic. Unless I'm missing something, it has trace and amigos, cool stuff! Any familiarity with this @VintageReefer ? @tbrown @tharbin
Never heard of it. I'd be curious if it's the right ratios of everything. Also, I'm going to assume that it's formulated for people that don't do regular water changes.

I've never heard of it. I went and looked at it. My initial impression was Snake Oil however it is made in the Netherlands and there are some VERY good reefers there. I'm kind of skeptical of it however and don't see myself giving it a try without some heavy hitter endorsing it.

The element mix looks pretty good but not any better than most quality 2-Parts or All-For-Reef. The aminos with the probiotics I can buy into but mixed with the trace elements? Unless the bacteria are spores I can't see them surviving in that soup--unless the soup is actually fairly dilute with saltwater.

I suspect it is pretty good for someone that wants to dose just one thing but I also suspect you would do better with a decent 2-Part, some aminos, and the occasional bacteria refresh.

I think that is spot on, in my humble opinion. One of our other members was using it, and I'd just never heard of the stuff. I appreciate your response.
 
In Dubai, the new method/product is modern reef it is coming from Europe too, I think Germany. I didn't look at it yet.
Very interesting Remi. It's amazing how much the hobby varies, regionally.

Yeah that makes sense to me. Odd little bottle of stuff

Never heard of it. Searched forum and and only found one mention of it but no reviews. Looks like a cool product though

Yep it was interesting to me. They threw the kitchen sink at it.
