Hey everyone,

I feed my little deskmate a helping of Reef Roids or Reef Chili every Tuesday (day after my water change) in my 5 gallon nano.

I just got a free sample of Brightwell Aquatics Aminos, and was wondering if dosing that with my weekly reef roids/chili will cause any issues.

Long term I probably won't use the aminos once the bottle runs out, but wanted to see if it might be worth it to use it for a little bost.

On the other hand not sure if I should just keep with the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality.

I appreciate any input.

Thanks!

Works just fine… I mix roids, coral amino, zeo back, and coral snow all together and feed my tank 3 times a week.

I only do this once per week, so it shouldn't be an issue. Definitely not looking to cause problems by over doing it!
Roids also raise po4 like crazy lol.. not sure if you knew that.. I struggle to get a reading so I feed a few times a week..
