ReefRoids and AB+

[Bent17]

Hi all - I was told that AB+ and ReefRoids are almost the same and shouldn't be used together. Is this true or its even better to use both of them (On separate days)?

Your phosphate will sky rocket if you use both at the same time

 

[Bent17]

No

Your phosphate will sky rocket if you use both at the same time

Obviously separate days apart

No

Obviously separate days apart

Using them on separate days will cause the same affect

 

[Bent17]

So I should choose one and stay with it?

So you’re say I probably shouldn’t be using ab+ as the liquid to mix up my reef roids or benepets to make a spot feeding slurry??

It all depends on your tank. If you struggle with high phosphates then benepets may be the better choice. Also, spot feeding roids is more efficient than broadcasting. If you need a phosphate boost then roids can be a nice option. I used to do ab+ and roids and zoas and lps loved them. Algae would be my main concern so watch that and know your n03 p04

I reckon Reefroids are the way to go instead of AB+ unless P04 and N03 are low you can do both

I use both at the same time - never had any issues. I don't dose Reef Roids more than 1-2x a week, though. I use AB+ daily/semi-daily.
