All-For-Reef color

jrill · May 31, 2022

I've been using AFR for a while now and have noticed that after a few weeks the liquid develops a golden color in the bottom 1/3rd of the remaining portion. Is this normal or do I have a problem.

I've been using A4R since last november. I've mixed 2 batches. They both have this precipitate in the bottom. I have not noticed any ill effects.
There are other threads on here talking about A4r. The ppr is common to other users.

There is no problem assuming you are mixing it correctly. You will also see a post at the bottom of how mine turns out. Sometimes the dosing container after 30 days will have a light gold/brown left over residue but it isn't anything to worry about. It has been covered throughout several posts here and elsewhere.

I dose about 90 ml/day. Starting with the DIY recipe TM provided late 2019 and now using the powder. Personally speaking it is a great product.

All-for-reef powder went hard

My all for reef powder has gone a bit hard and clumpy in the tub is it still ok to use? Also, there is always a fine powder left undissolved at the bottom when mixing it up, what is this?

Help mixing Tropic Marin All-For-Reef Powder

I'm mixing up the All-For-Reef powder into a solution. The directions say add 160g to 1L of water. However I know sometimes things can be translated poorly into English. With other products like Triton you would actually mix the powder into 750ml of water to start and then after displacement top...
