Let’s see those AFR powered tanks!

I started with 2ml daily 8 months ago. I'm up to 40ml daily. That's in 19 gallons. There will be a point where your consumption jumps off. For me it was slow until around 13 ml/day.
Good to know. My 25g tank just went from 9ml daily to nearly 20ml and I thought something was wrong with the uptake being that much. I like to keep the alk about 8 and it was 6.9 the other day when I checked so I had to change some stuff around.
 
Started with 2ml every other day and now it's daily

How do you get that pop? Is that a camera filter?
 
Love that Raja Rampage!
Thank you, it needs fragged for the third time again. For as beautiful as it is it has some nasty crazy long sweepers. It took one an acan colony and damaged another one that is slowly coming back so I have to keep up with keeping it sized down so it works in my 32 g. If you lived closer I would give you a frag. Happy reefing!

Aww man I would take one too if I had the chance!
Pack up a frag and I’ll pay for overnight shipping lol

I wish I could, I’ve looked into it and the shipping make it way more than it’s worth. I asked why vendors ship for so much less and I was told because they have accounts. Probably much less expensive using a vendor or better yet ask your lfs to ask for one from their supplier on their next order.
 
you do an amazing job! what kind of camera do you have??

Thank you! I just bought myself a canon R50 mirrorless to replace my old Rebel and this was taken with a 50mm f1.8 using an extension tube.

A true macro lens is on my wishlist but soooooo expensive
 
I’ve been running this tank solely on Tropic Marin all for reef since I filled it about 15 months ago.

Lately I’ve been wondering the limitations of the product and whether I would benefit from a pH increase from something like Kalkwasser.

Show me your AFR tank! And also please specify if you only use AFR or if you use it in conjunction with other products for the big 3

I’ll go first:

Back when I ran AFR on my nano but then I swapped to Ph Plus and bang, all coral/inverts in this photo except the maxima clam were dead within hours.
It was blamed on a Temperature swing but the reality was it was a change in dosing gone wrong that wiped it out. Since then I can’t grow SPS like I used to (I used to get growth and colours within days of adding certain species into the tank).

I’ve been using all for reef since March 2023. My alk has a bit of a zig zag when graphed out. It typically ping pongs but stays within 1dkh. My tanks consumption is weird and always has been. I have to supplement Alk directly every few months to make corrections otherwise my alk gets low
