Does anyone dose All for Reef & Fuel?

I've dosed both at one stage, but got bad dinoflagellates that went away once I stopped dosing Fuel. Need to do an ICP to understand trace element and if I need to consider something else.

Does anyone here dose All for Reef & Fuel with good results??

Quite a lot of the trace elements in All For Reef are also in Fuel, so I am worried doubling up would could cause a buildup of one of those elements found in both. I could theoretically cut dosages in half for each which might be a good direction to go towards.

Did for 3 months with no issue. ICP came back with nothing too high, but some things were getting low to undetectable so I started dosing AF Micro E a couple times a week. I didn’t see any real difference growt or color wise. Discontinued after that and started using Fauna Marin.

Definitely wasn’t something else. I’ve tried multiple times thinking the time before was caused by something else because I love both products.
Once I stopped dosing fuel the stn stopped.
All tanks are different though and I was only dealing with <40g tanks.
Good luck. Hope to hear your results.
Here’s a guaranteed analysis straight from aquavitros website.

I am not sure off the top of my head what the average levels should be of all trace elements. I am used to ATI that gives you the plusses and minuses for if its to low or high. Was anything to high for you? Were you possibly just overdosing?

I understand that and am using them for two different purposes.. I am specifically asking about the fact that both bottles have a lot of the same trace elements, and want to be sure there is no harm doubling up on them.

Have you considered trying amino product that doesn’t add trace elements? Brightwell CoralAmino and Red Sea AB+ come to mind as popular choices. At least do a baseline ICP to see how your trace elements are now to decide path forward.

I has a similar question because I use all for reef and Fuel. i've been thinking of switching from fuel to coral accel because it has the carbohydrates, fatty and amino acids and vitamins without the trace elements which i get enough of through the all for reef and water changes.

I just googled reef energy AB+ wow, this is exactly what i've been looking for, thanks!

The trace elements in fuel are simply the breakdown of the chlorella algae they added to it. It is not a trace element supplement except for the fact that foods add trace elements.

I use AcroPower for aminos along with All4Reef. Unlike AB Plus AcroPower is clear and is a stable for auto-dosing.

I gave up using All for reef, fuel, and Reef Energy AB+. My tank looks really good!

I think sometimes we (Or at least I) chase color and answers from random zoa deaths with these products, but in the long run just doing water changes and keeping on top of tank maintenance is the most important thing.
