Advice with All for Reef dosing

[Pico_Reefs]

I run my tank around 9.5, 9.8 is fine. Are you dosing the 2ml at once?

Are people using this because it is all in one? Because it has the trace elements in it? I dose Kalk but I am maxed out. i have BRS 2 part stuff on hand, but recently started dosing Tropic Marin A and K - seems like AFR has it all intertwined. Does it raise Mag?

I'm trying to understand why its worth the extra expense vs just two part or even Kalk in a small Low demand tank.

In theory the AFR replaces all major and trace elements in the same proportion that they are taken up by the corals, so if one of your parameters is stable and at the levels you want they should all be, including the trace elements that are almost impossible to accurately test for or replace unless you want to go full blown moonshiners. It’s also concentrated enough that you can mix up a large batch without taking up much space, you only need to buy and mess with one dosing pump, and if you trust the product you should only really need to test a single parameter most of the time to be confident that all of the others are also where you want them.
