Reef moonshiners program

[danieyella]

I'm planning to start using RM method as soon as I get my ATI results back. Just sent them this week so it will be a couple more I'm sure. Have a friend that is using the method and getting really good results. I figured I'd give it a try since I don't do many water changes anyway. This is probably the reason I've had some issues with a few large colonies over the past 6 months. Excited to see what happens.

You won't regret it

I'm currently on day 5, 100G DT and 80g frag tank. From what I've seen so far and the countless advice and recommendations this program is top notch. I've been reefkeeping since 2004 and although I've had success in the past, seeing the results of Andre and I hear tanks led me to the shine. I'll report back in a month or two when thing begin to flourish.

Just keep at it and things will progress nicely. It's a slow progression to a better place and it takes time.

I'm early along too. Just finished the correction doses and will be starting the daily soon (forgot to fill in the 0s the first time so totally missed that I needed to order them). It could be my imagination but I do see a bit of difference in some corals but not all. I've got high nutrients too (despite hardly any algae) so I need to pull those down and try to lower aluminum as well (elevated but not dangerous). The joys of reef keeping.

Ok so how do I get into this?

Check out the reef moonshiners website and download the handbook first, gives you a good guideline for the process overall

Any inspiring pictures of your tanks?

I am interested in this program. I can say I have been a successful reefer without water changes but mostly keeping easy corals. I want to start adding more difficult sps corals.

I just started and I keep mainly lps and soft corals. So far things look good. But haven’t seen a big difference yet

They have a FB group where people have posted SPS heavy tanks.

Let’s try this again. This is my 220 gallon tank,16 months old on moonshiners since day 1

My opinion is that Triton has system requirements/recommendations on physical setup turn over ratio, % dedicated to algae sump, etc . Which can be used with RM or not.

Triton has Core7 plus other methods for major 3 plus it includes trace elements. RM recommends major 3 void of other elements and you adjust based on ICP tests.

RM has higher target levels. Considers rubidium and fluorine important. Seems to put more emphasis on Barium and iodine especially Around SPS and TN issues.

open on ratios Recommends what is thought to be most consistent manufacturing of elements example vanadium is Tritons, iodine Seachem.

Recommendations in calculator allows for any ICP testing. But 2 (ATI and Triton) come more highly recommended. With ATI topping based on Flourine and RoDi testing in each kit

very good support through facebook

Risk factors; he’s a one family show with a cult following. Shipping of elements outside the us

I just sent my ATI test in today but I noticed on their information sheet that they don't test for iodine. So is ATI not going to be enough to get the information I need to know? Especially if this is important to the RM method. Thanks in advance for any help on this.

ATI does test for iodine.

They don't test iodine in the RO/DI sample I believe.

It's tested for there as well.

Thanks for the reply. On the ATI website under FAQ look at question titled, "WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT OSMOSIS WATER ANALYSIS?"
It says: "

We do not test for:

major elements, iodine und nitrate

Oh wait, I see where I missed it. They are talking about RO water. My bad.

Interesting. This is a screenshot of my latest test.

That is your tank water, not your RO water

Yep, it's got iodine listed under RO as well. I wonder why its listed there when they say they don't test for it.
