Aquaforest advice...

[Leslie88]

So, I want to start using the aquaforest system for my sps tank. I'll have everything hooked up to dosing pumps. My question is...

Is it better to just use the pre made Components 1+2+3+, or to dose all of the elements separate? There a lot!

What is everyone doing that is having success with aquaforest?

Thanks!

I just purchased the Components 1+2+3+ and does those in equal amount every 30 minutes with a BRS 1.1ml pump. It works great for me.

Great, from what I understand the 3 part has all those individual elements that you would dose individually, correct?

Yes. It has trace elements.

You could look at BRS's Alk, Ca and Mg. A lot less expensive.

You can premix the elements and make your own component 123. It will be much cheaper then buying premixed ones.

I use aquaforest and by their separate alk, ca, mg and mix my own. I also add reef minerals and then components strong. It should be the same as their premixed solutions this way but far cheaper.
