Exciting time! Dont worry man. AFR is so simple and a pleasure to dose. I use it myself. Readings of ALK and calcium will take a few days to register on your test kit, so start with the minimum required dose everyday and test in a week. Then dial up or down the dosage to suite your uptake and test again in a week.

Thank you I appreciate it … I will take it slow and dose up or down when needed πŸ™

Do you have to add Balling B to keep alk up ? My alk always lag and I have to supplement for it but the calcium and magnesium are on point

User Avatar @ReeVo 42d

I do. My Alk is lagging just a bit behind the calcium and magnesium. I remember watching a BRS video of Lou Ekas saying that this could happen.

User Avatar @Reeferare 41d

Exactly. I seen the same video

User Avatar @billy 42d

Agreed AFR is great. Start slow and you can ramp up as needed from testing results

Haha I feel you! Getting those dosing ratios right can be nerve wracking but once you dial it in your corals will definitely thank you with some serious color pop and growth. That stirrer setup looks solid though!
