Has Ultra MINs been discontinued?

reefmutt · Oct 9, 2018

Hi,
I recently started using Utra BAK and Ultra MINs on my 350g sps reef with very obvious and positive results. Nitrates came down very well without any serious signs of stress and I have begun reducing the use of my cheato fuge as nutrients drop..
I am so far very pleased with the two products which I use with dosers.
But looking at your website, I no longer see Ultra MINs available..
Has it been replaced by MINs? MINs does not look like it can be used with a doser..
any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hmm.. yeah.. grr.. disappointing.
Just when I though I had a good long term management tool..
I wonder, does anyone know what the difference between ultra MIN and ultra MINs is? They seem to contain similar main ingredients.. not sure to what extent, though.

Let's clear up some misinformation.

Min S is NOT being discontinued.
In fact, our US warehouse will soon be getting another batch of MIN S with the new label design. Our sale is to effectively move some stock with our original labels.

Thanks for the reply!
I have seen this new product and it looks very interesting. The product description Min s product is quite different Ultre Min s but I know that does not necessarily mean they have different ingredients..
So ultra min s is now called simply min s?
I currently use ultra min s and ultra bak on dosers at 6ml per day.
Will I be able to simply replace my old Ultra Min s with Min s?

Yes, the new name is just MIN S.

Replacing the original product for the current one is not a problem.

Thanks for this info!
I’m very happy to hear this.

Sorry.. I forgot to ask.. I just want to confirm - can Min s be used with a dosing pump?

Hi..... again

Another MIN S question..
I see the recommendation for dosing is different from ultra min s.
The Fauna Marin webpage says MIN S should be used at a starting dose of .5ml/66g. Every two days.
Ultra min s has a starting dose of 2-5 ml/250g daily. So, MIN S has a starting dose that is half that of Ultra min s- since MINS is to be used every two days...
Since I am already using ultra min s, should I reduce my dose by half when replacing it with the new MIN S?
And again, can the new MIN S be used with a dosing pump?
Thanks !
