AquaForest Program

[Tweaked]

And the carbon is so large that must be why it is listed at four weeks as well

Last question. Biopellets are carbon dosing, what in this program is taking the place of that?

The Pro-Bio lines will take place of this.

Thanks for your help guys.

As you know I have yet to take the pellets off which are in fact feeding the bacteria being dosed in pro bio s. The NP Pro is the media or carbon source/polymers for this program. I am taking this step by step for now before I fall off the deep end lol.

I started the Zeomix in its own reactor and have the pump set to low flow and running every 3 hours. Starting the zeomix slowly as zeolite can strip a lot out of the water if not taken slowly.

Program note:
It looks like the majority are stealing from the AF three part which as stated includes alk,ca,mg,trace, and metals in equal parts for daily dosing. We went with our standard two part and added their Component ABC for weekly trace and metal supplements. Please note that ABC does not contain Kalium. The weekly salt does, but not the ABC. Also it is important to test for K before balling.

There is nothing else mixed in with alk calc mag that you need? Interesing that you choose to stick with those and replCe everything else is it cheaper?

I may be missing the question, but we are all using Component ABC with our current 2 part dosing right now. It is all the minor trace and metals with the exception of K as discussed. I am only doing this for now as I have 4 gallons of ESV still.

AF Components 1,2, & 3 are Alk, Ca, Mg, trace , metals, K etc. in correct ratios to the program to be dosed daily in equal parts.

I am looking to try this out without going full bore. I wanted to know if using the following would be effective.

Probiotic Salt
Pro BioF
Components 1+, 2+, 3+

Coral Food
Coral E

Agreed. Want to know the same

Yup that will be fine. Keep in mind the bacteria is a stripping program. Are you nutrients already low? Do you feed fish well? How are your colors now?

 

[Tweaked]

And your missing the NP Pro which is the media to grow the bacteria in Pro Bio S

 

[Tweaked]

Lastly Coral B and E are to be used together. The B is the builder, the E is the Energy

Main tank looks ok in colors and nutrients. I am planning on using this in a brand new build for a 22g frag tank.

 

[JerSaint]

So would it be smart to skip bacteria and go with coral b.
