Overdosing AF Coral Foods?

[Vleis]

Hi Guys,

I have about 2 months switched over to a all AF system. I have a few questions if some of you dnt mind answering.

Tank:

5g AIO Pico tank. No skimmer (take note) LPS & SPS

Currently using AF Probiotic Salt, AF Amino Mix & Vitality.....

Is it possible for me to overdose these 2 coral foods?

Instructions say 1drop per 100Levery other day. It is very diff for me to drop 1/4 of a drop .. So currently im dosing every 3rd day 1 drop...
It is stated that amino acids get skimmed out easily, but i do not have a skimmer & do 20% WC every 4th day.....

Will this create a nutrient problem for me after a while?

Any questions welcome.

Thanks

Hello,
Dosage each supplements depends of your corals needs - not aquarium volume of water.
Please, do not overdose
Corals like LPS likes detecteble nutrients that's why it's not good to reduce them more using Probiotic Reef Salt for example.

The tank is pretty much full, not a lot of space left to add much more as you can see. I only use the salt, nothing extra in the bacteria range.............

How am i gonna know how much amino acids my corals need? Tank is pretty full so im going on recommended dosage as on the bottles..

Mmmm im a bit confused now

Edit, sorry if i sound a bit daft

New solution you i can have your input....

So 1drop (o.o5ml) is too much for my 30l (5gal) tank every 2days, i have pushed the dosage away to 1drop every 6days. The thing is i do not want to dose alot of food at once every week (think that defeats the purpose anyway).

Im struggling to get hold of a 0.01ml syringe, so i want to use a 1ml syringe & dilute.

Draw 0.1ml of AF & then 0.9ml of RO water, that will give me a 0.01ml of diluted AF Food (in every 0.1ml), then i just dose 0.1ml from the syringe.... That will be enough for 10 dosages & store in the fridge.

Will this be fine?

We don't recommend to dillute our supplements and foods with RO water.
Our products are effective and strong that's why we recommend to dose them according to corals consumption.

Maybe an insulin syringe would work??
