"100% natural deposit derived from the cleanest waters of the Pacific – from Fiji. It is perfect as a buffer to enhance microbiology in saltwater aquariums. Biological stabilization is a crucial factor for corals health. Using the AF Life Source provides corals access to components and minerals derived from the natural environment."

What components and minerals are they????

"The product is also an excellent complement an algae refugium and DSB."

Plaese explain how

If I buy this product I want to know what it is, & if I might already have these components and minerals being added to my system.

Wondering the same thing, I have never really heard of corals accessing components. Maybe its just a fancy way of saying something not so fancy. But it makes me think of computer game hardware more than reefing.

It is literally mud from Fiji. Thats why they cant guarantee contents, or qualify what it can / will / should do for you. Walt Smith has an equivalent product.

I could go to the river & collect some mud from there.

@Aquaforest @sever10

Surely you have had an analysis done to identify what the components & minerals are in Life Source ?

Hello, This mud is from Fiji - because of climat and there is no pollution of the environment this is ideal to feed microorganisms in aquarium and of course in DSB and refugium. To dose macro we recommend to choose Calcium, Magnesium, KH Buffer and Reef Mineral Salt from Aquaforest. We have a lot of fish foods, foods for corals but AF Life source was created to feed microorganisms.

Thanks for the reply
So it's a Source of carbon to feed bacteria, basically.

What do you mean by microorganisms, this is bacteria, pods or something other? Thanks!

Exactly.

 

[Superlightman]

someone tested it?

 

[MrWanted]

I'm using it now.

But to me.. and with such vague description it's nothing more than a snake oil.

We'll See

It just has lots of different strains bacteria that can help.

I've been using it for almost a year. Helps with tank maturation and the corals (SPS) seem to love it. Also if using in conjunction with AF Bacterial Products it seems to keep anything defined as the "ugly's" at bay. Recently did a tank transfer to a new system. On day 5 had an outbreak of a reddish / brown algae all over the rock and sand. It began to recede three days later and was gone by day 5. I think their products work well together. I've had success when using in combination with BioS, Pro BioS, -NP Pro, AF Sand, and AF Bio Fil.

+1 The stuff that is in the sand will mature your reef tank in a way that it introduces new bacteria etc etc and make your tank more hardy. Think about how your own immume system works

I really love this stuff, when i had red slime algea and used this it steadily went away
