Aquaforest products?

Brewman1987 · Mar 19, 2016

I'am starting to see more and more post about this aqua forest brand of salt and supplements. Can anyone tell me more about the hype of this product? What is so special about it?

ctsps · Mar 19, 2016

Its not hype,i have tons of sps and switched to reef salt and components 1,2,3,way better polyp extension and color than using reef crystals, all of the salts parameters are closer to seawater

+1 It is also more cost effective, and ready for this? The product is simple and straight forward to use.

I love the AF salts and products I've used so far. I'm using up the rest of my Red Sea product line and then switching over to the full AF program. Super excited to see what the full impact will be on my reef. There's a lot of information out there on the AF products, which I've been researching and following on all the forums. A revolutionary product line for the reefing hobby!

If you are interested in this product line I recommend taking a drive to School of Fish in Mass and talking to David. They have been carrying the full line since November. A few members of the BOD stopped in this past weekend and had a long conversation about the Aquaforest line. I was intrigued by what I had been reading, but the cost of start up seemed high...after talking to David, Nichole and I will be switching over to the aquaforest line (or a part there of) as soon as we transfer our frag tank to the new basement system.

So far I have not hear anything negative about the product line. Salt mixes in 15 minutes, improved polyp extension and color, and increased growth.

I am definitely considering the switch based on all of the success stories. We spent a good amount of time talking to the owner of School of Fish in Springfield and he is extremely knowledgeable about the product line. They were one of the first LFS to receive AF. His prices were right in line with the online prices also.

CTARS will have some of the AF foods that we will raffle at the meeting tomorrow and both reef and probiotic salt for Aprils meeting all donated by School of Fish.

Is everyone using the reef salt or the probiotic reef salt?

Tradewinds · Mar 23, 2016

I don't mean to push my way into a club discussion, but believe the topic of Aquaforest products go beyond local club usage. I have been dosing Aquaforest components 1, 2, & 3 for several weeks and have seen better polyp extension and brighter colors in my corals. I plan to try the Aquaforest salt once my current salt inventory is consumed.

I think mainly sps tanks use the probiotic.

captc07 · Mar 23, 2016

There are a few factors to consider when choosing between the salts. The probiotic salt leans more towards the ULNS as well as requires small frequent water changes.

Suicideissleep · Mar 23, 2016

I have no sps but use problic salt

Triggreef · Mar 23, 2016

It doesn't seem all that much more than red sea as far as the salt mix goes. I may be jumping on the bandwagon soon as well. There seems to be a whole lot of supplements but I've only glanced over things. Is there also a 3 or 4 part dosing regimen comparable to triton? Cost comparison?

captc07 · Mar 24, 2016

From what I understand there is a daily 3 part (Components 1,2,3) that sells for 50 bucks. That gets you 5L of all three parts. You dose a little over an ounce per 27 gallons of water volume.

I have been using 1+2+3 since January, before I started using the 1+2+3(Balling Method) I was dosing everything (ca, mg, kalwasser, reef colors ABCD) mixing a measuring. My parameters were kind of steady. Now my parameters are now where I really do not have to check them with no mixing. I also switch over to the reef salt 3 weeks ago.
