Acropower

[BJcorals]

I have a 75 gallon and and 30 gallon plumbed into it and I’ve always suffered from low nutrients no matter how many fish I put in there. My question is if I feed acropower everyday let’s say a capful 5ml with this be good? No4 2.0 and po4 .02

I would say no.

How often do you feed your fish? It could be as simple as feeding more, or shutting off your skimmer for a portion of the day.

+1 on turning skimmer off via timer or controller for a few hours each day, i have mine off in the evening that way the fish eat and poop while it's off and it stays in the water column a little longer.

I would follow what's on the bottle.
It also depend in what else you dosing..

Try increasing feeding frequency, skimming dry or both.

I believe that aminos are just dirtier nitrates. So, nitrates with carbon. Dosing them only gave me slime algae. Dose nitrates if they are too low and feed frozen food.

I was wondering why the past couple of days some of my sps colonies were acting funny and check my phosphates and i have 0. Which sucks. Now I’ll feed heavy and hope for the best

0 phosphate will definitely upset your corals. Also, if you dose nitrates, it’ll drive down your phosphate, so keep an eye on phosphate. You can dose phosphate too if it gets hard to keep them up.

My system run low on nutrients. I started dosing 3ml twice a day two weeks ago. My socks have seams to clog quicker and my phosphates have climbed. I just cut the dose back to 3 ml a day and will see if they come back down.

System is around 180 gallons. Phosphorus was 10 now 85.

I’ve been feeding lightly these last couple of weeks which I believe causes this. I will feed heavy and see where it brings me.

I’m just worried right now because my sps are ticked. I need to do something

If your looking to feed coral and increase phosphates use reef roids.

Will give it a try in two weeks. Suffering with 0,01ppm PO4 here...

Never heard of amino acids causing phosphates. I would think it’s probably something else going on. Aminos (acropower is a basic, but good amino mix I believe) should only be processed into nitrate as the end result from what I understand. Someone correct me if I am wrong.
