Fauna Marin Ready to Reef question

Hello everyone. I wanted to ask if anyone used Fauna Marin Ready to Reef? How have your system fared post dosing.

It’s a knock off of Tropic Marin All For Reef. Might even be identical. Unless it’s cheaper or you cannot get AFR, I’d stick with the proven product.

Thank you very much and noted. I have used TM afr and have had great success with it. Both these products are available where I am however Tropic Marin is double the price. Economically Fauna Marin is a better choice however I’d still use a proven product if the other product has a downside. Would you suggest?

since I have not heard of user results with the Fauna product, I cannot predict a downside to using the Fauna version other than supporting a company that I do not respect.

Twice seems like a big difference. Are you comparing dry product per weight sold?

FWIW, my quick look shows the TM product costs less at Top Shelf.

The instructions are similar on the FM product ie 1600grams make 10 litres of product and the price is half of what TM charges. I’m only sold on the economical aspect of the product however I would not use it if it had a slightest downside.

I am in Asia and the FM product is $52.50 and the TM product is $ 93.29

Ah, that’s a local cost difference for some reason.

Well, I was unaware of this product until yesterday and I was gonna order a 15kg bucket of TM AFR. This product got me all confused and I believe rightly so.
