starting AF

Acroporaaddict · Jul 12, 2016

I currently have a 45g sps tank. I have a 3 channel dosing pump supplying BRS 2 part plus mag. Im considering switching to AF to try and get better colors. I have a few questions

I have read that all 3 parts are dosed in the same amount. If my dose is 3oml of each per day, do i dose the whole 30ml at once, or can i dose it in smaller portions throughout the day?

If i use the bio salt and dose the bacteria, what nutrient levels am i aiming for? undetectable and then supplement with aminos?

Thank you

I use AF Component 123, and have for several months now, mine is split in 24 doses, so every hour I get a small dose of each. So yes, it can be split. To adapt to the Probiotic system, you will need AF Probiotic Reef Salt, Pro Bio S(bacteria), and NP Pro(Carbon source). The goal is to run nutrient poor condition so that yes, coral supplements can be dosed for colorful corals. The Component 123 also delivers trace minerals as well, so you will likely see a push in colors from it alone. Please read the userguide and product guides. http://aquaforest.eu/en/ You will likely want to look into the Probiotic system which explains all the products. If you have questions, let us know
