Just saw this for sale this morning and wanted to run some costs numbers and figured I would share.
This is based on the 1600g All-For-Reef - Powder Mix - Tropic Marin.

For min dose I did the 5ml / 26 gallon and for Max Dose 25ml / 26 gallon

I already use All for Reef for my 13.5 but now I am contemplating if it makes sense for my larger tank as well......

I bought as soon as I saw the BRS email. I had been cobbling together the DIY ingredients but carbocalcium is really hard to find and it’s $50 (in stock) just for that component right now. The powder is a no-brainer to me on my 70g. Tank is young so I will probably end up in the middle of your calculations. $10 a month for complete element dosing? Sign me up.

Right, I think this brings a whole new size of tank into the equation.
