All for reef for me. Seen a lot of good reviews on it.

 

[Troylee]

Interesting! The majority is just the basics and ammonia and like I run my tank! But I see more and more coming in with all sorts of trace hmmmm… I have A&K and use it during the summer time when I can’t change water.. haven’t really noticed a difference with or without it…

Than you’re doing something right!

I only dose the lowest recommended amount (80ml/gal of 2 part) and levels come back perfect except for low strontium. I have to supplement more with that.

25% weekly water changes, 40 ml of AFR,and half strength kalk in the ATO 2 gallons daily.

I like seeing others who do the 1/2 strength Kalk in ato. I like the ph boost and the cal/ all addition.

I actually started doing it to boost the ph. Initially I had to back off the AFR but im back to where I was then.

360ml of 2 part and tm part c. Do moonshiners for less wc on a 300 gallon. Colors were good on 125gal with wc and kc 1234 once a week but went this route for new tank.

 

[Troylee]

So what’s everyone seeing with the kz faktworm stop? I didn’t notice a difference really but I see tons of people use it! I backed off when I got Dino’s and haven’t tried it again myself.. I know it’s loaded with iodine as people who use it report it on their icp tests.

I'm actually surprised to see so many using all for reef.

I'm running kalk and afr on one tank and kalk and balling 3 on the bigger reef. Too soon to see which I prefer.

These are strictly trace elements. You still have to dose calcium, alkalinity and mag… this is a supplement for people who don’t change water a lot or at all honestly. Basically reef moonshiners in a nutshell if you’re familiar with that at all.. difference is A&K pretty much doses all “required” elements between the 2 vs moonshine or captive8 etc where each element is individual and you gotta send in icp test to see what’s lacking or over board etc. each element comes in a individual bottle and you dose according to icp test and programs they have outlined.

Zeovit, DSR, Triton, etc. If I was to try an additive solution it would probably be DSR. Doesn't require ICP testing and has been around since 2009 give or take. I recall Zeovit coming out earlier though.

I am pretty happy with AFR though. Hoping we get a larger powder container here in the US...

Same! I need @Lou Ekus to release that 5gal pail in the states! lol

AFR and occasionally aminos (Fuel I think)
