We have not seen this happen @Bramzor and have not had this complaint. So it makes me wonder why you are seeing that. Can you tell me what the parameters are that you are running in your system?
Dosing All in One (especially Carbo Calcium) will never show an increase in Alk or Cal when testing using the normal tests. The reason for this is because these will only become available when bacteria starts consuming it... So you cannot use these for increasing Alk or Cal, but you can use it to keep these levels stable.I've just moved over to the DIY All in One solution as described in the BRSTV video, My question for @Hans-Werner or @Lou Ekus is how long does it take to get a reading of All increase etc.Today my reading as All 9.3, Cal 350, Mag 1150 - I'm going with 50ml of the solution to start - as @Hans-Werner explained in an email to me.
If I dose 50 for a couple of days would I look to see an increase in All immediately? or does it take time for the bacteria to get used to the solution to create the carbonates...if that makes sense.
Thanks you Jon
It is true that the alkalinity may take some time to "show up" in the system. Sometimes this is a day or two. In fact, much of the alkalinity goes directly into the coral polyps when using a formate formula, and so you sometimes do not see it show up as much in the general water column until there is a lot of excess that then does show up there. The calcium will generally show up much sooner.I've just moved over to the DIY All in One solution as described in the BRSTV video, My question for @Hans-Werner or @Lou Ekus is how long does it take to get a reading of All increase etc.Today my reading as All 9.3, Cal 350, Mag 1150 - I'm going with 50ml of the solution to start - as @Hans-Werner explained in an email to me.

I've been using the pro coral mineral almost like doing a waterchange without physical replacing water. I just mix the powder up and pour into tank every two weeks or so. Am I using the product incorrectly and am I running a risk to overdose some elements?
Great, I'm very sure you are OK then. But I'm sure Hans-Werner Balling will have additional comments for you.Thanks Lou. I am a bit scared to dose the recommended dose as I don't fully understand the impact on the tank. I am basically using half of the recommended dose and dosing that solution every two weeks. If I understand correctly I am far away from the two scoops as you just indicated that would be save
Since we don't sell a lot of this product, here in the US, I am asking @Hans-Werner Balling to give his input on this. Personally, I prefer the A and K additives, for your application, over the Pro-Coral Mineral.Does pro-coral mineral contain magnesium if so how much? I have been using one scoop of this every two or three days to maintain trace elements as is cheaper than A and K element liquids. But dont want o build up any undesirables in the tank.
