Aquaforest probiotic method

[Myka]

Most people dose Coral E and B daily and dose A and V every second day. They should be added in the evening after lights out.

I only have E and B right now and have only been using it for just over a week. I have been dosing B every night but was leery of dosing E nightly so have just been using every other night. My tank has about 35g of water so I've been dosing one drop of B one night and then 2 drops the second, same with E but over a four day span. I changed my light schedule about 2 months ago so the tank is dark by 9 and I dose at 10 for Pro bio S and NP Pro and now B and E so corals get the most out of it. I'll start dosing E nightly and see how things go. Thanks!

Very interested AF Product. How long normally shipping to your door after payment? Amazon says 1 to 3 month.

Each time I get anything heavier shipped (salt) they usually use UPS in my area. Canada post never delivers anything larger sized or heavy or me, the simply drop off the slip for me to go to the post office.

My other AF products were shipped via Canada Post however - such as A, B, E, V etc..

I have prime and it was free 2 day shipping, but my salt was 3 days.

I'm thinking to order probiotic salt. My tank has little bit softy and LPS. Mainly SPS but they are still small frag and mini colony size. Currently dosing big three plus vinegar. I also run bio-pellet. Do you think I better to dose coral A B E V? And if it's better, do I still need to dose big three and vinegar? Sorry I haven't read all thread yet and still searching
procedure. Thanks

For anyone interested Amazon has the 25 kg reef salt boxes back in stock... For now.

I order from Amazon all the time, they are simply fantastic, I do like 3/4 of my shopping on there. Right now they are not using Canada Post they are using Purolator whenever possible. They literally use about a dozen different shippers depending on many factors.

If you are required to dose Alk/Cal/Mag to maintain constant levels, you will still need to continue dosing these elements when adding Coral A / B / E / V as these supplements do not replenish calcium alk or magnesium.

In terms of vinegar that is a carbon source. Aquaforest makes NP Pro which would replace your vinegar and they also make pro bio F which is another carbon source. Either on of these products would replace your vinegar and biopellets, however, you would also need to supplement a bacteria Pro Bio S.

Aquaforests does make Component 1+ 2+ 3+ which is a calcium/alkalinity/magnesium and mineral salt system with the added Trace elements and heavy metals. Or you could make your own and add the trace elements (component strong) and mineral salt. This is what I do as the 5liter pre made jugs would be to costly in my system. Really depends on your system demand.

I currently running the full aquaforest system and have been extremelyhappy with it.
