Is it possible to under dose AFR over the course of several months and STILL see a drop in calcium concentration?
Edit: what a dumb question lol
I’ve been dealing with poor looking corals for some time now and have done several things to try to remedy the problem.
My calcium has always been the 400s so I always figured my AFR dose was adequate. Last night I was watching a presentation by Lou Ekus where he mentioned the starting dose/gallon for AFR, and it kinda clicked with me at that moment in time.
Maybe my coral issues have to do with depleting trace elements due to under dosing AFR, and I’m talking about under dosing by about 66%.
I’ve been gauging water changes based on nutrient levels, and with carbon dosing, they have been fine, so not very frequent water changes.
Anyway I’m hopeful that things will take a turn for the better now that I’m at least at the starting point for dosing AFR.
