Does anyone else use Tropic Marin All For Reef?

I don’t know, but I can tell you that AFR doesn’t instantly change the dkh of your water. It takes time (hours) for it to break down into alkalinity. I like it this way, more stability.

Yes, that’s the same as other products like Salifert All In One that are based on acetate. Bacteria must metabolize it first.

I believe it even has some carbon in it to spur bacteria growth for this purpose.

The formate of this calcium formate is the organic. It gets broken down.
