SPS Tank to Aquaforest

[rodneyri]

I will be changing to Aquaforest in a month or so, right now im running simple system (after my bio pellet crash) with Rowaphos and carbon, I have 10l of Siporax in my sump. I add Fauna Marin color elements but thats it.

So to change over I plan to use Phosphate Minus and carbon - replacing monthly. NP PRo run daily from dosing pump and Pro BioS added daily by drops. Will use Coral A, B, V and E.

My plan is to keep mainting Alk, Cal and Mg by my existing dosing pumps as I have years of raw materials left to mix my own.

Also plan to keep using Red Sea Salt, again as I have 6 buckets of it still.

Should I have any concerns with the approach im taking?

Rodney,
If you want to go through the last 4-5 pages of my journal on sps forum, I detail my transition over to AF, all products being used, dosing amounts, and observations. I am basing my dosing on a total of 180 gallons. Feel free to message me directly!
