Does anyone dose trace elements when using all for reef. The reason I ask is my corals colors seem dull and not as vibrant as the were when I was using 2 part and adding Redsea trace colors.

All for reef is a complete additive package with trace elements already included.

I would check your nutrient levels as AFR has reportedly been causing a bottom out of N&P.

I do dose Red sea colors with all for reef.

All for reef is a little low in iodine and after an ICP I confirmed it. I believe you could keep a healthy reef only with all for reef, but the extra may help.

I dose colors every 3-4 days thought, not the daily recommended dosage that is described in the red sea website.

Been dosing for 1 year now but did not repeat the ICP. Will do another ICP in a couple of month to check.
