Aquavitro fuel by seachem

[greg1786]

Anyone using this stuff or used it in the past? Ive been wanting to try it but had a hard time finding it and just got my hands on some today. Ive been feeding my corals with coral smoothie and was wondering do i copletelt stop the smoothie and only use fuel or continue to feed smoothie and use fuel as well. Im under the impression i only need the fuel but was hoping some with experience using it could chime in. Also any info on personal experience of how well or poorly the fuel worked for your sps corals would be great. Thanks -greg

I used it for nearly 2 months. Short and sweet: it didn't noticeably do anything. I suppose I didn't really know what to expect, and I suspect now that I didn't need it at all.

I would think (and this is only my line of thinking) that if the coral smoothie is supposedly providing the same service as the Fuel, that one would be redundant and therefore useless. So I'd probably use one product only if it does the same thing.

Hopefully this helps you in your quest for answers. :thumbsup:

Ultimately, the coral eat it after it goes through the N cycle, IMO. You can do the same thing by just feeding more of what you already have.

Ok guys thanks for the input. I honestly dont think i gave the smoothie a long enough period of time to see if it actually had a positive effect because i really wanted to try the fuel. I dosed first dose last night. Will update in a week or two with results. Anyone else using it?

When I used it I saw better PE

Thats what im hoping for and maybe a bit more color. I have some good color and go pe on some of my acros but a few have very little pe and id like some better color from them. I get good growth out of pretty much all my corals so i doubt id see an increase in that. I have been having trouble keeping ricordea mushrooms for some reason so im hoping the fuel helps with that as well

I use it, and I'm pretty happy with the coloration of the coral and the polyp extension. After dosing the fuel all my corals expand and are ready to eat. My LFS turned me onto it and they using it with great results as well. Its carbs and amino acids. Most people are dosing something of this nature, right? Also. ricordias ans yumas seem to love it and almost double in size after I dose it. I only dose half the recommendation, a full dose didn't help as much
