ATI Essentials Pro availability

[North Borders]

Anyone have any info on ATI Essentials Pro availability? I have been using their 2 part system for years, but looking tonight, it seems its sold out at most vendors. Getting nervous as I only have a couple month supply on hand currently.

I typically buy the 2L kits of #1 and #2.

Maybe this can float you by until you find the larger size?

Thanks! I might have to message that seller as it lists it as half an ounce lol - that would be an insane ripoff if true

I am having the exact same issue... Even on ATI website it shows Sold Out. What to do now?

If these are coming out of Europe, it may be a while before they’re back. With the new tariffs hitting the EU, I’ve been told many retailers are not bringing in EU stuff right now

I’d switch to a different brand or method.

Ooof. I started having trouble sourcing it a couple months ago, but was able to find and snatch a few boxes of it from Aquacave at the end of May. They had 29 boxes in stock at that point, but it looks like they've sold out since :(.

I talked to a vendor last night and they stated that ATI is currently reformulating it and coming out with new packaging that doesn't leak in transit lol
They thought a few weeks yet before product is in the sales pipeline :(

Have any recommendations, Randy?

Have any recommendations, Randy?

Depends. There are plenty of good methods. I currently use AFR. In the two part world, I’d use a diy including Balling Part C and TM A and K, or ESV plus tm A and K, or tm two part ABC plus tm A
And K. Kalk is also a good choice.

Thank you! I didnt realize the Tropic Marin AFR existed. That product looks really compelling. Cost is no concern for me. Would be nice to go down to one container/doser. Do you do water analysis send offs still with it to keep track of the various elements?

Some do, yes. I have not.

Oh interesting. The new batch I got from Aquacave had much different bottles, which I assumed were released versions of the new packaging.

I’ve had the same problems. I have 2 of the 2L sets and then I’m out. Given the scarcity I’ve started to setup a calcium reactor. Will likely stop using the product and switch to the CaRx.

Hi all,
The ATI Essentials will be availabe again in the US shortly (matter of 1-2 weeks). We completely changed the packaging and that lead to a delay, sorry for that!
The Essentials Pro are now called Essentials Mixed-Reef and the Essentials+ are now called Essentials SPS. In general, they are the same products like before but we made some improvements on the receipe during the last years and also recently when we introduced the ICP-MS.
Besides that, we made it more clear what the difference between the two products is and what you are getting (how much ALK and Calcium in total for example). We tried to add as much transparancy here as possible.
You will find product information here:

Any updates on availability? Everyone is out of stock online still. Thanks.

 

[North Borders]

Yeah, haven't been able to find any either :(
I'm making the swap to Tropic Marin All For Reef this week.

 

[ScottJazz]

I wouldn’t mind them switching but it’s unavailable. I can’t wait for my calcium reactor to be fully operational. I only have 2 liters left. I’d be screwed if I was not switching.

 

[North Borders]

I have one last set of essentials I found that Im saving in case AFR doesn't go well, but have heard mostly all good things about it. Plus going to one doser would be really nice!

 

[Sold4jc7]

I've been using Essentials Pro for 5+ years, and don't want to go through the stress of changing. It's worked well and I have the dosing amount dialed in.
