Red Sea AB+

[Dr. Jim]

I've tried AB+ at least 3 times over the past 10? yrs and never saw any improvement. But that doesn't mean it "doesn't work" it may just be that it isn't needed with all the additives I am using and frequent ICP tests: Triton CORE 7; many Zeovit additives; TM A & K; all the Triton Elements (for correcting deficiencies on ICP tests).

Do you mean months?

Do you mean months?

Actually it was the AB that I used, 3 times, over many years. Sorry.

I find it helps when corals are stressed or dying since its an easy energy source for them. I had some that had bleached and looked pretty bad, but the amino acids really helped. I used the a and b separate bottles.
Now that my reef is healthy i might stop for a while and see if there is any difference

Anyone know if you can dissolve it in RO?
Since it says you can keep it unrefrigerated for 7days my thinking is to dissolve it in my top off container which contains a couple of days worth of water.
This would simplify my coral QT/holding tank as it would remove the need for manual dosing or a dosing pump.

I bought a tiny fridge on Amazon, drilled holes in the top and it holds my AB+, phyto and Alk reagent.

That wouldn't be simplifying in my case
For me it would just be for this coral QT/holding/frag tank.
