How often are you guys dosing AB+
I’ve been going Daily with it but I haven’t been dosing the Max amount for my tank size.

 

[Lazydayz]

Same I'm dosing half the amount for my tank size every day.

I’ve found a little info about it - but mostly people complaining that it has to be refrigerated lol

 

[Lazydayz]

Yea that's all I've seen, been dosing for about 6 months now and love it. I manually dose so having it refrigerated isn't an issue for me. I've also seen people say that it threw everything off balance and caused algae issues. Doing the half dose seems to work out just fine and I have not seen any increase to any of my parameters.

Does anyone love the smell of it?

lol, I haven't really smelled it. I'll just take your word on it

My corals definetly took off when I started dosing. But got some algae so now I do every other day. So far so good! It does have to be in fridge but I dose manually so no problem.

I started using it about 3 weeks ago and I can already tell that the coral like it. I'd say over half of my coral are extending more since I started. It seems to have really helped a couple of my leathers as well. They have been more perky as of late

Do you broadcast feed with this? Or target feed like reef roids? Dose it and still target feed?

 

[Waynerock]

Dose every day 7 ml since feb when it came out. My corals have taken off

I have an 80 gal tank and I dose for 50 Gal ( I assume rock and sand take up a bit of the "80 gallon measurement".
I leave my powerheads on and turn my pumps off - then I just pour it in across my tank and watch it cover everything.

If you target feed, you are supposed to mix it with your aquarium water so that its diluted a bit.

Is ab+ the same as the two bottles thats reef energy a and b? Currently just feeding reef roids daily and 1ml of acropower phos stays at .06 and nitrate 3-5ppm

From their website - it sounds like they added them together and then a little somthin somthin extra

Reef Energy Plus is a single part, complete, energy efficient, coral nutritional formula that provides all the carbohydrates, amino acids, fatty acids and vitamins that corals need for vitality, growth and coloration. It includes all of the basic components of the original 2-part Reef Energy A&B plus a few more ingredients in a single improved formulation that allows them to maintain their efficacy when combined together.

It smells like taco meat

It smells like taco meat

I thought it smells like vitamin C cold medicine, that must be the color haha

 

[Funston07]

I've been dosing 5ml daily on my 65gal tank and you can tell the coral love it. My bower that is usually closed up other than when feeding even opens up shortly after dosing this

I thought it would be gross I sorta want to try it

 

[Letterkenny]

I think I’m going to try to make a reef energy/reef roids mix to direct feed.

 

[LegendaryCG]

It stinks imo

 

[Texas Rick]

I target feed it with my pellets or brine shrimp
