  2. Thanks for the update. Aquaforrest and Tropic Marin pro have a similar level of elements with more natural Dkh levels. So this is a good switch and shouldn't cause any issues. But you have to be careful in switching some brands and do it slowly over time. But typically get a salt to match the element level your tank needs or is used to. Stability is key! So do be careful doing too many changes at any one time. All for reef really is a game changer of a product. Calcium and Alkalinity and trace elements all in one bottle. Now whilst this creates a stable base, your tank may still need supplemention as 'all for reef' is about replacing consumed elements and not so much about dosing ADDITIONAL elements. A subtle difference which is part semantics but also key to understand. So keep testing. Once tank is stable invest in an ICP test that will help you understand if anything extra is needed to be supplemented. Testing is key. If I had a little more spare cash I would certainly love to get one of those Reefbots. Although a little too pricey at the moment, however if your tank is stocked to the brim of high-end SPS I would see the value in testing twice or three times a day to really understand the character of a tank. In the absence of that little robot, please do test as much as you can without getting too bored hahaha. Information is key to finding issues early and correcting them. Algae hahaha. Yes a battle. I personally think an ATS is essential unless you have a good refugium (by good I mean reasonable size but more importantly with a powerful grow light). An ATS would be a good long term solution for algae, but a treatment like vibrant is a good start. If you cannot find an ATS you can build your own. (I built one for about $120. Sounds a lot of but it is twice as big as those on the market, built as strong as rock and produces a decent amount of PAR and even has overheat protection in the electronics. PM me if you interested) If you are getting a lot of different Algea in your tank I would look towards your quarantine methods as a potential source of initial introduction. SAS typically have emerald crabs in stock. (Remember to try and get female crabs as less aggressive. Females have a beehive shape on their abdomen). Good luck. Happy reefing.
