Some one educate me. Are all those elements used in a contestant balance? Meaning if I used 2 percent of my available calcium did I also use 2 percent of all those other elements in there “balanced “ proposition? I ask because where as that’s very interesting. I can’t test for most of those items so unless they are consumed proportionately (and maybe they are). Then I would risk overtime... knocking things out of balance. And I wouldn’t know. But if it is consumed in equal proportions than sounds like I should be using it. Anyone know the science behind element consumption. Please chime in.
i use the same product but from red sea. the red sea product is for smaller tanks but it works the same
you dose everything with one scoop of ABC+ NOT for large tanks 50 gallon or less. i use it on a separate frag tank that less than 50 gallon

I think the question is dosage based on total water volume or just the dialysis where coral is?
I would think display as your sump doesn't consume these elements; maybe if you have a fuge some night get absorbed.
Based on DT I would have to purchase roughly every 3 months. If total volume every 1.5 months.

So I use Red Sea pro as my salt so my alk is around 9-8 this keeps it there. It all depends on what number you are happy with and what is consuming alk. This doses an even amount of alk/cal/mag plus some elements. i use one scoop twice a week for 50 gallon frag tank.

I saw this too and was wondering about it.
It
works and it’s super easy. but I am going to try the tropic marine and see how that works.
Matt, I agree FW I never really chnaged the water just topped off. If a major problem then yes a large water change.
For SW I was told WC help replace trace elements and why we should them. Other sites have people that never do a WC and just dose.

They sound harder than marine
Why I never kept them, to much work. Plus soft water...you're crazy.
I use All for Reef on my Red Sea Reefer 250. My tank is mainly SPS and I can say that is way easier to just does one product but I am using about 33ml a day to keep my alk between 8 and 8.5 so it costs me about $30 month to use. It did take a couple of weeks from my tank to get used to the new dosing but otherwise it has been good. I also have seen a small increase in cyano if i'm late on my water changes and I think that is because the tank was lacking in the some elements that the all for reef has in it. Before I switched I was Bionic.
