Hi Everyone,
I'm interested in switching to a 1-part solution like All For One for my dosing. Are there any specific considerations before making the switch?
My reef is an 80G Deep Blue mixed reef. Just starting to re-populate SPS after rehoming my Emperor Angel which decimated my previous stonies (I know, I know...). I'm currently dosing ESV 2-part + Mag, and run Brightwell Purit next to the overflow drain.
Testing levels tonight, I'm at:
Alk (Hanna): 9.8
Calcium (Hanna): 489
Mag (Salifert): 1300
Phosphate (Salifert): 0.8
Nitrate (Salifert): 4
I water change 10% every 2 weeks with Fritz Salt. I also understand that my PO4 and NO3 are quite high and will be taking steps the next week or so to get these in check (refreshing my refugium with new chaeto as a start, possible skimmer upgrade as it seems mine seems to have hit a wall with productivity).
I was previously preparing to switch over to BRS 2-part — have all the dry ingredients and am waiting for the last of the ESV to run out (probably 1 month's supply left) — when I learned about All For One, which honestly seems like a miracle product to me.
Also to consider, my next big investment in the tank will be control with GHL. Was planning on first adding the KH Director, and then expanding to Profilux and Ion Director (whichever order makes sense), but ultimately accomplishing this over the next 3-6 months. I would want the 4th, unused pump on the KH Director SA doser to be in charge of the dosing duties.
I'm assuming that before making the switch to get my Alk/Cal/Mag in acceptable range as well as the waste-related params. But, any advice and discussion would be well appreciated.
Thanks for any and all input!
