I have a 90 Gallon Reef that is around two years old. It is just now becoming mature. I've been managing Alk, Ca, and Mg, manually and had little problem. Now however, I have a bunch of fast growing Monti's and such that are rapidly increasing demand. I was in the process of setting up a calcium reactor when I visited a local reefer to do some trading. He used All for Reef and had a great looking, high demand reef. After talking to him, I decided to shelve the calcium reactor, at least for awhile, and try the All for Reef method. I plan on using a 2ml/min BRS dosing pump and a digital timer. Demand is not high now, roughly .5 to .7 dKh/day, but is increasing. I keep alk around 8 dKh. I have a LitreMeter III and a continuous dosing pump if needed later.

Just wondering if anybody has any pointers for using this method or advise about using it. Any info will be appreciated. Thanks.
 
I love all for reef. Simple single dose solution to keep everything streamlined. I would first note once your water parameters are in check, your dose ML depends on tank size and coral consumption of nutrients. Personally , my 91 gal total volume uses about 40 mil daily of all for reef to keep my alk, mag & cal how I like it. Your amount should likely vary but start small and test daily! Best of luck
