Fuel?
- Thread starter cliffhanger
- Start date
These substances add carbon, which feeds bacteria, which break down nitrate, for tanks with super high nitrate levels. There is a precise chart of how much to dose, and how fast you can increase the dose safely, per size of tank. IT would be dangerous to dose your tank without this chart.

Assuming you mean the seachem product, Fuel is basically just vitamins for a reef. Just like people, coral need riboflavin and vitamin C and there's also amino acids in there. It's a nutritional additive. But unless you are experienced and fixing a known problem it's usually better to rely on quality food to provide those things.
Think of it like people, it's better to eat a healthy diet than it is to get all your calories from potato chips and then take a multivitamin. If you feed fresh healthy food to your fish, they will poop all the stuff the coral needs.
Biopellets and carbon are totally different. They are advanced ways to control nutrients.

I could see Amino Acids being fuel to the fire. (algae) Are you dosing this just because, or does the tank/corals really need it?
Just as an example, a lot of people set up refugiums right off the bat, not really knowing whether or not the tank needs it or not. We all want another tank, don't get me wrong, but the focus should be on the DT as opposed to that lit up section down below. JMO, GL.

I believe Seachem recently stopped producing Fuel and now has Reef Trace and Reef Plus. I started using those myself recently but it's probably too soon to say it made a big difference or not. I have used their Cichlid Trace in my 210 fresh tank for many years with great results.
