What's the safest way to move from all for reef to 2 part if

I don’t think there is any big concern. I’d just switch over 1:1 potency-wise on day one (it can be calculated), and adjust the ESV up or down as needed (up is most likely due to the pH effect).

You will lose the trace element boosting so you may want to consider a supplement such as Tropic Marin A and K.
 
I switched about a month ago, with ESV B I started with 25% reduced dose and adjusted from there. I switched once I run out of AFR, no transition etc…
For ESV I dose number of small doses through out the day, AFR I did two doses per day.

As Randy mentioned I use TM A and K elements for trace elements…

Good luck,
 
So from the little research I did I swapped from bionic to all for reef and from my understanding bionic is about 1.5-1.6 x as strong as afr so say if your dosing 40 ml of afr I would dose 25ml/hr of part a and part b of bionic

Again I swapped from bionic to afr and almost had to double the dose of afr
