I will be ordering product very soon and wondering what else is needed. I was planning on just doing comp123. Do I need pro bio s and np pro as well? Nitrate are 1 and pros .03. Mostly SPS.

also I've seen people dosing 1 and 3 at the same time same doser head??? Then 2 on its own head? I only have a 2 head doser right now.
Thanks.

You will need NP Pro and Pro Bio S. As far dosing concern you should dose the components with 5 minutes interval atleast.

I dont have the np pro and bio s. Is this why im getting algae. My nitrates have moved up also but i started to dose half of my other stuff.

Here is a link to the Aquaforest guide. You'll find it quite helpful selecting all that you'll need!

Depending on the type of system your running . You may or may not have to use the pro bio s and np pro. A lot of it depends on what your dosing . I posted a link to the guide and that will help you determine what you need and what to dose. My suggestion would be to run exactly what they state for the type of system your running.

I'm doing the probiotic method so I dose them. Also some of the other variations they suggest using them.

How you control nutrients? AF is basically a probiotic based ULNS. You need to dose np pro and pro bio S to make this system work and lower down your nutrient level.

I agree with both assessments, and sound advice.

Everyone's system is different, in general one needs something to control phosphates and nitrates or your system would starve.

Quick question, does component 3+ raise Mg? The reason I ask is because my Mg Levels are a little high but calcium is spot on with component 1+

Componentt 1+ rising Mg.
Component3+ contains Reef Mineral Salt and microelements.

Does it matter which AF Night time supplements I dose together? For example should I dose AF Amino and Vitality one night and Build/Energy the next?

I dose amino and vitality one night and build&energy the next night.

I do the same as Gator, but this dosing can really be done daily if you want, really depends on nutrient levels and coral appearance, this gives the user the ability to control colors. If you like darker more saturated colors, you can run a bit higher on nutrients levels, if you prefer more of the pastel effect, you can control that as well by driving nutrients low. I prefer to maintain balance of nutrients around 2.5ppm NO3 and 0.00-0.03ppb PO4.

 

[bowen1022]

Thanks guys! And how often do you use AF Coral Food?

 

[120reefkeeper]

I dose the coral food once a week. Not sure if that's appropriate or not , but I guess it depends on your load.

Also I dose the amino and vitality one night and the next I dose all 4
