Anyone use Aquaforest Power Elixir

[LovinlifeinGuam]

Have any of you tried AF Power Elixir? It sounds like a good product at a fair price but I'd like to hear from someone who's used it before buying... anyone here given it a try?

 

[blaxsun]

I have only tried the AF Amino Mix, but the AF Power Elixir definitely sounds interesting.

 

[GillMeister]

I never have tried it but I've been very happy with the AF products I am using. I might just try this one for good measure.

 

[LovinlifeinGuam]

I'm a pretty big AF fan personally but I still like to hear from others before buying...I think I'll probably give it a shot after I'm done adding a couple more corals

 

[Nano_Tuners]

It sounds like their version of AB+? If it works as good would be nice not to have to refrigerate it

 

[LovinlifeinGuam]

Yeah, they make it sound like an all in one type coral supplement which I like

 

[Nano_Tuners]

keep us updated on the progress if you give it a trial run!

Any updates. Did you give it a go? I'm on Redsea AB+ but the results have been underwhelming. Would prefer a set and forget dosing option too.

I haven't yet because it was kinda expensive before but a new supplier here is offering it for a lot cheaper now so I might give it a shot now... I've never really known exactly how much coral food actually does is the thing so I'm hesitant to buy an expensive product but now it's pretty reasonably priced

 

[Loustoy]

I'm trying it today first dose

 

[LgTas]

I've been very happy so far. I'm not sure if it's because AF is a better product or if the ability to autodose makes it more consistently available.

In any case. Notable uptick in growth and colouration not long after switching.

Seems like it’s a doser friendly combination of vitality, amino, and energy.

the product label says refrigerate after opening though, and use within 30 days. So not sure how “doser friendly” it really is.

it actually says use within 30 days or refrigerated its good up to 6 months.

I started using Power Elixer because it's doser friendly and does not require shaking before using it.

I was dosing PO4 and NO3 previously but heard a talk from Ryan (BRS) saying that PO4 and NO3 are mostly taken up by algae (some by the corals) but corals mostly utilize amino acids. It made sense, so I made the change and stopped dosing PO4 and NO3.

It's been a few weeks, my sps look awesome, not so much algae growth on the glass. I am happy with the results so far.

Of note, even though Power Elixer instructions say to use the product within one month of opening the bottle, the shelf life is maintained if you refrigerate the leftovers.

I have won a bottle, can't wait to try it. Any tips?

Hey since you've been dosing it do you see the corals opening up? Om talking about lps liek Acans,Favia, lobophyllia,scolymia etc?

 

[noobreefer1999]

Hi might be an old thread but what are your thoughts about power elixir? Are they like Red Sea ab+ that will raise po4? Need some reviews on the product as my tank has been steadily maintaining at
Po4 0.03 and no3 20ppm i know it’s not balanced but that’s how it works for my tank so I might need more thoughts about the product before trying it thanks

 

[LgTas]

I didn't really notice much difference after dosing and tbh I've gone back to just water changes with NSW and my sps growth has been taking off...
