Anybody use Reef Energy AB+???

[fishboi]

i've been dosing 7 mL on a 25 gal plus 15 gal sump, and my phos and nitrate are high

So I did redo my tank to a bigger tank. I’ve just started up dosing again since my parameters are stable. I can give back some results but I am dosing every other day. I’d like to use a dosing pump but it’s only good for 7 days if left out of the fridge. And you have to clean your container after every refill Seen some make a small chiller cup or small fridge and dose from they but seems a bit too extravagant for a supplement.

ok please let me know. I'm trying to see if i should stop dosing to get those down

What are you using to export waste? Typical set up?

does dosing AB+ raise phos and nitrate?

It’s a food source, so it can if not consumed

If you are higher you would not need to supplement. Definitely stop

+1 - if your corals aren’t consuming it, it can and will raise po4/no3. In my case mostly po4.

I used if for a while. I switched to acro power and notices less impact on po4. - I dose randomly- maybe once a week. But I do not have a lot of big sps colonies - just a lot of frags. I think Ia packed sps and maybe lps tank it would be a bigger benefit then with softies.

on my softie tank- I noticed a huge improvement once I started dosing iodine. But Again: some is good too much is deadly. So just make sure your do your research- i dose 1/2 recommend dose.

there is no magic elixir wonder additive that will make a huge difference. A well established and stable tank is the best - these amino acids are only the icing on the cake in my opinion but must have a solid foundation to start with.

Good luck and happy reefing

I dosed 10ml a day in 40b, this is the result. I haven’t dosed at all in my new tank , so I’m not sure if it did anything honestly lol

Looks good to me man.

I’m using it in conjunction with acro power. I have acro power dosing 10ml a day and AB+ every other week 50ml. The LPS love it more than the SPS. My Red Sea RSK 600 is too efficient for my setup, so I only run it 12 hrs a day.

Will await your results

API test results (hard to tell the color differences)

PH ~8.0
Ammonia some where between 0-0.25
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 10

I’d invest in better kits and also need the other 4, mag, cal, alk, salt

How often do you change out filter socks/rollers? Water changes ? And are you running carbon gfo?

the roller runs itself when the water line gets above the sensor. I change water once a month. Currently I’m running chemipure elite

Chemi will help drop no3 phos. Might be worth a try to do twice a month water change. Do you feed any other coral food or dry foods for the fish?
