Hello,
I’m wanting to switch from Red Sea component A and B to just using All For Reef for the simplicity. I’d like to free up a dosing head for something like TM Amino Organic or some other brand of aminos (recommendations welcome of course!)
anyways, I keep seeing that there is a lag with AFR. Essentially it will take a bit, at least at the start, to see it show on an ALK test.
my question is - yes it takes a bit to show up, but is the ALK still present in the water column despite it not showing on a test?
I keep my system around 8.3-8.4 dKH.
my corals consume about 0.4 dKH per day. So I’ve already worked out how much I’m going to start dosing for AFR and it’s coincidentally not much different at all than the recommended starting dose. However, let’s say I start today and I won’t see the AFR show on an alk test for 2 days. What happens during those 2 days? Is there a massive dKH drop and then i rebound? Or will I be maintaining a proper replacement of my consumption but I just won’t see evidence of it until it shows on a test?
thanks I’m advance!
