What is your standard dosing ratio for the four AFR components?

I know you aren’t asking me, but I don’t understand the question. What 4 components?

As it relates to All For Reef the four components listed above are not dosed independently. They are purchased separately, measured according to instructions provided by Tropic Marin, and when mixed together yield a set amount of All For Reef. It was provided by Tropic Maric as a cheaper option instead of buying the pre-made liquid.

Since then Tropic Marin as released a more economical powder version with the 1600g container selling for $75 US dollars (not including shipping, tax, etc). I believe that is the cheapest option which makes 10 liters today. There is a 5 gallon bucket mentioned but I have not seen it. Depending on the retail cost and how much it makes up it may be the cheapest option out there which would be nice for those using it on larger systems.

Dosing components are part of my reefing budget so it is something I look at. I'm currently dosing 80 ml/day and happy with the results. When I was using ESV 2 part I had a similar line item.

I dose 30 mL in a 210 g and 7.5 in a 40 g. Both tanks doing well. We’ll see what happens if drifting starts to happen. For now everything stays pretty stable.
