Changing from RF1/2 to All for Reef

[mythesis]

Currently, I've reached pretty good stability by dosing 18mL of RF1 and 21mL of RF2. I'd like to move to All-For-Reef because I'm still not seeing great coloration / growth. I'm guessing trace chemicals need replenished.

Alk holding steady in the 9.3-9.6 range and Calcium in the 420's in a 90 gal + sump setup -- I'm using 100 gal as my total water volume in the online calculators.

If I'm doing my math right, 21 mL of RF2 equates to about 0.67 dkH I'm replenishing a day.

Looking at All For Reef calculator, they're suggesting for 100 gal: 18.93 mL will replace 0.28 dkH.

So, does that mean I should do (0.67 / 0.28) * 18.93 = 45 mL?



The initial recommendation is to do the 18.93 and then increase slowly.

I’d ignore the initial dosing recommendation and just dose the equivalent alkalinity with 45ml.

I am using 26ml per day in a 40 breeder just for reference but depends on your corals. My dkh is 8.2. Its easy but not a cheap route to take
