Besides, itโs much simpler with just one doser. Iโm going to switch to that on my 65gal when I deplete my current container. I might jump back as well once mine runs out
@BackbayReef so I had to do it just so I knew. Looks like afr might actually be a cheaper option if it was a straight up afr vs balling + trace, no additional supplements to the afr. Their site says afr includes trace, but if you add those with it then yes it would skyrocket the cost. I'm coming up with $0.27/day afr and $0.34/day balling. My math could be screwed up as it's early and I haven't had coffee yet.

Oh man, are you asking me to geek out right now with numbers, because i will? If you are, I'll make some assumptions and throw it into excel and run the numbers. I ended up switching just because I didn't have the "perfect" tank using each part equally. So I was having to supplement afr with part b for alk.
