Using Aquavitro Fuel?

Re3f_Adict · Mar 20, 2015

I just bought this and noticed the difference, and thought of starting a thread to let people see the progress achieved by using this product.

So this is my acan colony I rescued from a shame of an lfs this was before and after . So if anyone is using fuel and has before and after pics lets see them and share your routine with dosing.

I use it alternately with Reef Chilli and Reef Energy. Variety is best imo.

That sounds good I'll try that myself, I'm loving the results I stopped for a week and I noticed sps becoming dull

I dose 4 ml s everyday corals seem to like the stuff . I was going to switch to acro power but then decided fuel would be better

This is making me wish I would've went with fuel instead of acropower... Only time will tell

I was. Gonna buy acro power but heard good things about aquavitro and can't beat the price. Would love to compare the two products, I'll wait till my next build.

I just ordered some from Amazon so we will see how my reef does with it. I've been using Acropower for awhile now and I can't say if I really noticed any positive effects yet.

Take pictures and post a before and after here would love to see the difference ☺

I noticed very little difference from Fuel. I was dosing twice/week. I'm going to try Acropower after the other AAs that I'm using right now are gone.

aminos are known to brown sps.

What can be done to prevent the sps from becoming brown? Can I dose something different to aim to maintain sps color or intensify

It seems to be harder finding the perfect rythm with LEDS to really make SPS show their color like you see in MH tanks. Its usually too much amino that causes browning so adding fuel from time to time isnt a bad thing. I have some. I dont use it hardly ever though. In my opinion getting SPS to look like a show tank, is to have really bright LEDs with out bleaching them. so many people dont realize how easy it is to burn acros after switching to LEds from MH or T5 it literally takes weeks to get your LEDS up to the desired level to get similar looking corals as a MH tank, but it can be done. Other then that a good salt mix and keeping your alk calc and mg in check is all you need to do. Also i dont believe in having ULN i read a thread about a guy who switch from MH to LEDs and his tank looked amazing with both, he explained that the key to making the LEDs work was getting them as bright as he could and keeping the nutrients on the higher end of acceptable to really make his SPS pop.
