If one drop of amino is causing RTN I would be willing to bet you have much bigger problems and the timing is just inconvenient.

Are you also dosing the Component 123? What are your thoughts?

I have a similar experience. It is acropower + pohl extra cause my red planet to rtn. I noticed it 3 times, rtn with 48 hrs of dosing them, rtn to only red planet other sps seems fine. I have not test each of them separately.

Eg8r210 I invite you to come over and tell me what I am doing wrong. I have been trying to figure it out for probably 15 years. I have what everyone says is a beautiful reef tank. I say its marginal but corals are growing well for the most part and none are brown.
Honestly I could use the help. I have chatted with many owners of long standing and reputable companies about it on many occassions and all are baffled.
I have been through 6 or 7 tank changes over 20 plus years and all that I have tried aminos on are the same. Not all brands are as potent as say zeo and it might take 1/2 a ml when 10 to 20ml are recommended. Not sure of the acropower dose on a 250g is off the top of my head but 1/2 ml shouldn't do damage.

4 times I have sold absolutely everything and took a break and started over. New rock, fish, coral, salt brands, lights.
If you can think of anything please let me know.

I was quite surprised at people mentioning RTN/STN with amino dosing. Quick google search came up with an article in the reef nation website. The author speculates that maybe carbon dosing and amino dosing is fueling a "bad" bacteria that seeks out coral. Interesting read for sure. http://www.reefnation.com/side-dosing-vodkavinegar-amino-acids-reef-tank/

It also references a video about coral-killing bacteria....https://www.wired.com/2012/05/coral-bacteria-video/

Yeah thanks for the links. I have thought of just about everything. Not sure how I would end up with the exact strain of bacteria in all of my tanks years apart and even in different houses. Everything is different/new except me. I can't wear wind up watches or I will stop them dead so I just figure its. me Glad I can keep a decent reef without amino's but I know I could tip the scales to amazing with them. Oh well.

I do not know if it was the amino, it could have been any of the additives. I spoke with some one today who had the exact same experience I did. Even said they used 1 drop. I am willing to sell all comp123 and the additives for $40 if anyone wants it, you might have better luck. All the bottles are 99% full.

 

[mlivvy]

i'm assuming the salt was picked up?

 

[Ucantwin]

I decided to use the salt.

 

[Lilmatty5dimes]

So what's for sale and prices?

 

[Ucantwin]

Comp123, np pro, pro bio s and the additives (AF aminos, build, energy and vitamins) all for $40, normally cost $110. All the bottles are 99% full.

Good luck with sale, I tried giving my product line away before eventually putting it out for the garbage man.

 

[Ucantwin]

@Bryans4, I seen your thread and experience with AF before I started with AF. I was hoping your experience was just one off. I went and bought a new bucket of red sea salt (blue bucket) today and did a 40% water change. I will do another 40% in a couple days to hopefully flush out whatever caused my corals to react badly.

 

[robthorn]

If you want just good clean salt and as pure elements as are available ReefAddicted in Lakeland is a Reefgrow dealer. He will have salt soon.
I have been using their supplements well over a year and the salt since February with good results as long as I don't do something stupid.
