Fuel

How often should you dose if really you cant text for vitamins I k know it has all kind of stuff in it but how do you know when enough is enough

 

[Crabs McJones]

Be careful when dosing stuff you cannot test for. I struggled for a few years with out of wack parameters. I'd say for now dose slightly under what the bottle recommends for your tank size if you must dose it.

That's my question all my parameters like alk. Call. Mag. are good but when it comes to this type of trace alements how do we know if we need them or not

Do you do scheduled water changes? If you're, for example, doing weekly 10% or more water changes I wouldnt worry about minor or trace elements. Just calcium alk and mag

Fuel is an amino acid product. It is best dosed at lights out because that is when your corals use it most. I recommend you start with a much lower than recommended dosage, think of it like feeding your coral a powdered food (like Reef Roids, Reef Chili, etc). Work your way up to the recommended dose after a few weeks and stick with it. If you start having algae problems, thinking about cutting back some.

I've been dosing fuel for a few years now I just don't know what is enough like I dose every 7 days but does the tank really need it every 7 days or less say twice a month how do you know

 

[sbazain]

Like for example you know your dosing cal. Mag. And alk. And you know their absorbing it abuse of your test but are they taking in those Aminoacids constantly or it gets to a point where is just in the water

I dose about every 5 days. 10 ml for a total water volume of 55 gallons. Watch for algae like others said. I notice that the colors in the sps are a bit deeper when using fuel.
