Usually I have in my Sump the coal, which I change every 15 days. I'm using Aquaforest "Component 1+2+3" is correct using constantly the coal in Sump ?

If your referring to the GAC then yes you can have it in a media bag placed in the sump. If this is you first time using GAC I would start with 1/8-1/4 of the recommended amount to not strip your system too fast.

I'm sorry but I do not know what is the GAC ! I'm using this...

and... I use the recommended quantity every 15 days. I'm doing it wrong ?

Hi guys,
Started to use some AF products. ABE and would like to know If we should store the bottles in the fridge.
Please help.

[plyle02]

No it is not necessary to refrigerate

 

[ivanotas]

Only a few like coral a,v,b,e are required.

 

[Alfrareef]

Guys!! I'm confused.
I'm using those (Amino mix, Build and Energy) and about to start Vitality...
How to store?

 

[plyle02]

Store them at room temp, in most cases that should be just fine. I store my Pro Bio S in the fridge, although not necessary

 

[Alfrareef]

Thks plyle. I'll follow that.
Sorry for the dumb question, but it was recently I've decided to try some of AF products (ABVE only) and couldn't find good information. It seems everyone his repeating the 4-5 sentences AF has written about it....
if these drops work I'll perhaps start with other products, Pro Bio S and/or Probiotic salt even if I don't want to turn off my UV and Ozone. Can you give me your thoughts about this approach?

[Aquaforest]

Yes.

I'm lost... lots of stuff and increase difficulty to understand the basics. It starts to remind me why I didn't go with other brand...

If you mean the "Balling Lite" from FM than yes you can replace it with 123 from AF

 

[Alfrareef]

Yes, it's balling lite. 3 salts+3 Traces.
Great! Thanks for the info.

Knowing what is inside for lots of pieces in FM Balling Light, I strongly disagree

AF 1 2 3 is definitely different to FM Balling Light.

Just saying it has also 3 components and also has traces is by sure no proof

- concentrations and mix of balling salt is different
- how to dose Mg according your consumption with AF 1 2 3 ?
- traces AF must not be traces FM

I agree with Martin L.

AF Component 1+ 2+ 3+ is based off the "Full Balling" method.

"Lite Balling" was developed for better stability over "Full Balling Salts".

 

[GoVols]

I meant Martin K...

Is anyone using Component 1+ 2+ 3+ with other salt mixes other than AF and have all 3 parts equal out evenly on their daily doses per part?

I wanted to keep using Component 1+ 2+ 3+ when I switched back to Reef Crystals. Deep Water Aquatics told me the 3 components who only even out this AF or Tropic Marin salt mixes.

Guys! I'm back in trouble. And mostly by my fault.... tried to simplify.
So please allow me to elaborate more.
I currently use FM balling light and have obtained KH, Ca, Mg stability but nothing notable over corals growth and coloring.
So I've started doing some experiments with AF ABVE and not sure if it was a cumulative or single effect but the corals have started to show some growth and better colors.
The next experiment I was thinking was to replace the 3 containers content with AF Componente 1+2+3 but when started to study I found no coherent info about that so decide to address the question: can I do that expecting to maintain the same stability?
Thanks for your help.
