Adding traces.

[Notsolostfish]

Iv been dosing all for reef for over a year now, my tank doing good for the most part, however stuff can definitely be improved. I dose all for reef 40ml/day. On a doser.

My last icp test showed lack of trace elements. I have tropic marin A and K. And i was wondering how much i should be dosing? Its really confusing to tell u the truth. I know adding both everyday + afr and the recommended will be way too much.

I looked. What’s lacking? Only thing I see not in green is phosphate.
Instead of changing your dosing I’d do a big water change to reset. Then back to AFR as it’s supposed to have all the traces in it.
What kind of improvements you looking for? Pics?

Try reef moonshine then. But not too bad

All for reef does not contain potassium, so consider the salifert potassium test and brightwells potassium supplement or similar. Do you have a refugium by any chance?

For folks looking to add trace elements, I think Tropic Marin A and K is a fine one to experiment with. If you are already using AFR, then maybe start at half the normal A and K dose.

Good evening randy.

For tropic marin K it says Add 1 ml of trace elements (each solution) to each 100 l of aquarium water daily
do i add daily? half of that for my tank or weekly?

for tropic marin a its Add 1 ml trace elements of each solution per 100 l / 25 US-Gal . Not sure how much to dose. weekly daily. etc

I’d start by adding 0.5 mL per 25 gallons per day for a week and look for any changes.
