Tropic marin

[Duhnk]

anyone currently using tropic marin all for reef on a sps dominate tank.
if so how much success have you had and how long have you used it.
i would like to use it since its one easy additive i can dose to my 29 gallon.
ive used triton with success
aqua forest with some success
and brightwells with little success.
my tanks 3 years old now currently running.

I’ve been using it for a couple months and love it. I used a similar product called ONE from polyp lab before with great results as well but the all for reef is much easier to use. I use it in my frag tank as well.

Going to follow this one. I have a mantis shrimp tank setup and would like to try some lower demand coral in that tank. I feel like this product would work well for this application.

I like the simplicity. That's really what you're paying for. My tank is small enough where it's well worth it in my opinion. I only go through about 2 mls a day

I have been using TM for years and will not use anything else. I just started a new tank and I love how simple it is to use.

I’m going through 30 mls/day in my 50 gallon tank

That's alot! Most of my corals are still frags, so consumption isnt exactly at an all time high haha

I have a bunch of frags and 10 or so mini colonies that are eating this stuff up. I’ll probably have to switch to a CaRx in the next 6 or so months to keep up, because it isn’t cheap. I wish they made a gallon size bc the 500 and 1000 ml only last 2 weeks/4 weeks

Tropic Marin Pro from the start. I refuse to use anything else. The consistency in their salt is what is most important to me along with their near NSW parameters when mixed.

I have contemplated using it, but seemed to me (and I didn't actually sit down and crunch the numbers) that it was kind of costly. I run their Pro Reef salt with BRS 2 part along with strontium and iodine and have been successful

I’ve used all for reef since I set up my latest tank, probably 8-9 months. Its been great and easy. It does act a a small carbon source, so I did have to adjust zeovit dosing down a bit in order to bring up nitrates and phosphates.

30 ml sounds like you have a crazy amount of consumption from your corals.

good to know ya i dont want a ulns that acros cant thrive in and i hope i dont have to counter the all for reef too much or if any at all.

it is but i think i can get away with it since my tank is mostly frags rn but if starts needed 30ml to keep it running will have to look at other options like the brs 2 part or others.

I think BRS did a video on cost per gallon or something like that on additives. I may be wrong tho, it’s still early for me and I’ve seen ALOT of videos by BRS over the years

**EDIT**
I thought I saw a video on it: https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/vide...-actually-cost-each-month-brstv-investigates/
