I did do some searches and the only threads i could find were from almost 5 years ago.

 

What is everyones thoughts on their fuel additive. I currently usw ions and calcification and they do work as advertised.

I'm getting A LOT better polyp extension on everything since using it. I think it took about 2-3 weeks, twice a week use to really notice anything.

I've noticed a small algae break out but nothing that isn't manageable, light dusting on the glass every other day and a few small patches of hair algae.

I've been using Fuel in conjunction with Acropower for the last 6 months or so, and I'd say the results have definitely been net positive with absolutely no signs algae. For my 34G mixed reef (albeit heavy in sps) I dose an inner cap-full of Fuel on Monday and Friday, and one cap-full of Acropower on Wednesday. I would highly recommend SLOWLY working up the dosage over the course of a month or so to give your tank time to adjust accordingly.

 

However, in my experience, these kind of amino additives are most effective (and the least potentially harmful) in a system that is already nutrient low, such as carbon dosing. For example, I was using biopellets but recently switched to vinegar (up to 11ml daily).

The stuff works great, I dose an inner capful on Mondays and Thursday's(after my thursday water change. This time around(I used to dose this about three years ago on the NanoCube I had at the time) its only been three weeks and I'm seeing color enhancements + longer skirts already. I'm using this and I'm adding marine snow to the mix soon. No algae issues thus far.

Be mindful not to dose too much as I believe this has a good amount of iodine in it.

 

 

Imo the best mix for a tank is 1) fuel 2) live phyto + rotifers 3) giant skimmer

I dose 5ml every Saturday (I do my WC Friday nights) and I get excellent PE on everything. Birdsnest's & Stylo's are all very happy so far, LPS seems to puff up more and z/p's look better.

I was dosing brightwells koralcolor and havent notoced much of a change if at all. I only have a slimskim nano as thats all that will fit in my biocube but ill have to get me a bottle and some phyto plankton. Do yall turn your skimmers off for an hour while dosing?
