Power-up your Acro's..........

bluwtr · Mar 27, 2014

On Diesel's advice I have slowed my skimming and have been feeding more to try and up my PO4. I have stopped daily dosing and am going to try single dose per week to see if it generates a better response. I understand adding when our lights are on, but I've not read where anyone has said if it makes a difference when dosed under full spectrum vs. blues. Has anyone tried this or seen a difference?

I dose once a week but may switch out the magnesium from my doser for the acropower. Thus making mag dosed omce weekly amd acropower daily.

This is exactly what I did. I dose 1ml daily for my 40g system.

I have been using this for about two months now. I dose 5mls daily in my 90 gallon sps/Lps. I have noticed much much better polyp extension using this. Growth seems a little better also. I haven't really noticed a color difference but the PE is legit

Just started tonight. Let's see what it those for me. Will pick one frag to document any improvement will post pic of the frag tomorrow lights are off now.

I enjoy using acropower. It's a nice thing to know that my corals are being fed without me being a slave to my watch on the daily to do list with the tank.

I use 4ml a day on my 60gal, diesel do you think this is too much?

Greenstreet.1 · Mar 30, 2014

I started with 20 drops in the morning and 20 at nights. I will use this frag to see any changes in color and growth it's a small frag of Wwc cookie.

I haven't heard any bad calls on a OD yet!
But if I was you stick to the directions on the bottle.
5ml for every 25 gal.
In your case you looking at give and take 2.5ml a day.
I'm dosing 7ml on my 250 gal total system a day.

Interesting, the first post I read that dose twice a day.
Will follow your progress.
Nice PE on your Acro's btw.
How long you be doing he dual dosing?
Tell us more about your setup my friend.

Acro · Mar 30, 2014

I might lower the dose then, I have it set up dosing 3 times a day. Hour after lights on, half way through light cycle, and an hour before lights off.

I have been doing the dual dosing since I was using my brightwell amino I finished my last bottle so I started dosing AP the same way.

Setup: 75g sps dominant powered by two AI sol blues I love them (may upgrade to 52's) with ATI 4x54w t5's bulbs two blue plus one purple plus and one actinic all controlled by apex. Cal and alk dosed by1.1ml dosing pumps cal during the day alk at nights. Sss1000 skimmer biopellet reactor also run carbon in a TLF reactor changed every two weeks almost forget also use the balling trace elements it's great. I started dosing AP on 3/27/2014.

This increases no3 like crazy! Contains a lot of no3 inside.

I haven't experienced this? Anyone else chime in?

LowezAkar24 · Mar 30, 2014

I run NPX Plastics in a Two Little Fishies Reactor to keep my Nitrates at 0. I have no issues with Acropower so far (fingers crossed).

Still see no positives to this supplement. Maybe Im doing it wrong but I dont think so

half way done with the bottle and see no change to my corals

Really hope you have some factual evidence behind this instead of just blurting out words.

Has anybody tested this yet with Proof of much Aco Power increases Nitrate?

Does it increase Phosphate at all?

I've been running it for a month now and my phosphates are still extremely low 9pbb phosphorous. I've been feeding a lot heavier, 3 new fish and just introduced the new ecoBak plus pellets. I'll check tomorrow but everything has been good so far.

Acro · Mar 30, 2014

I have to say i have zero experience with any of my nutrient levels rising and I'm dosing 3 ml a day on a 60 gal..... Maybe my tank is just super badbutt on using the excess nutrients? Lol I honestly don't believe it raises anything, maybe it's the OD of it that does.
