Are you happy with the ABC+ powder?Im doing the same as i used seachem before switching to red sea . Still have half a bottle left
Welcome to the R2R family.about to start using this on my new nano. looking forward to everyone's ideas and reviews.
Yes so far i am very happy , just adding KH and Mg extra but this will depends from tank to tankAre you happy with the ABC+ powder?
What salt are you using? New to all this so here is my question Mag usually you don't add it as much as water changes take care of this. So adding ABC+ won't that raise mag too much? Based on your tank, how much trace-colors are you dosing daily? are you also using coral nutrition ?Update:
Since that post I've been dosing Red Sea Colors C & D. The ABC+ already has Colors A & B in it.
I still love this system and have to give RedSeaKev and big "Thank You" for the guidance he's provided me.
My DOS pumps have been collecting dust since last fall.
My Coral colors, growth and health have never been better.
I still dose up alk separately from time to time but no big deal.
It's so easy to use and gives awesome results if it balances out for you.
If you would like to give it a shot then you dose 1ml of Colors C & D to every 13.3 grams of the ABC+ powder.
BRS usually has a great price on the 5 KG bucket of the ABC+.
Reds, Greens, Blues, Purples, Oranges and Yellows.
If you have questions or results then please post.
Regards, GoVols
I'm using the Red Sea "Blue Bucket" and dosing up to my display.What salt are you using?

You dose to your calcium's intake (drop) of your reef.hey @GoVols , I'm about to start dosing, and can't figure out how much to scoop in.
My small container has a 20g, and a 2 g side of the scoop. My tank is a 29 gallon biocube. Any suggestions would be much appreciated as I can' tfind an answer online.
Thanks!
The ABC+ is meant to be dosed to your cal. over time you have to bump up you alk.It's a solid product, I think it's out of flavor because it cannot be automated. It's really 5 products in one: Alk, Mg, Ca, Colors A, Colors B.
The other end of the scoop should be 2g? I no longer have it.
As @GoVols said, you should dose to match your Calicum uptake, many use Alk assuming they are being consumed equally (but that isn't a guarantee). I would start with 2-4g and measure your Alk/Ca. I measured my Alk nightly with the Hanna until I got it dialed in then switched to testing every 3 days or so.
If you dosed the ABC+ to your alk, your cal will keep climbing
