One hour between each component should be ok.
I just like Comp-2 (Alk) during the night to help keep up ph while lights are out.

I just mixed my first batch of 123. My component 1 has a milky precipitate. Is this normal? It settles and I have to shake. I made 4 liters.

I'm using the comp 1+2+3 since 2 months and the values of my tank (berlinese method) are very constants.
I have regulated the quantities of the products on the KH. Currently the KH is 7/7,3... usually I'm changing the water every 15 days (more or less 15%) with Aquaforest reef salt. I red that component 1+2+3 contains also microelements... my question is... how many days have to pass between to water changes ? I think that with this products (comp 1+2+3) maybe is possible to reduce the "water change" because we add constantly in the tank all microelements... like in the Triton method. what do you think ?

Less water changes may be possible for the trace elements in Comp 1-3+ but... I'm not going to tell anybody to reduce their water changes for things like nitrates and detritus removal etc...

A quick check. Can i substitute the reef salt in component 3 with my probotic reef salt? Will there be any issue?

That is not "Reef Salt" in Component 3, it is "Reef Mineral Salt". This is completely different than salt for your tank, it is more of a balling salt, designed to help buffer minerals.

Hello,
I'm using Component 1+2+3... but the Iodine is very Low (zero). Can I put some drop of Aquaforest Iodine ? Inviato dal mio iPad utilizzando Tapatalk Pro |

Sure, That should be no problem, however, the Comp 123 should maintain proper levels once you reach your target

It comes premixed(component 123) or make your self recipe as well. You would need KH Buffer, Calcium, Magnesium, Reef Mineral Salt, and Component Strong to make your own version of the pre-mix Component 123.

At some point I'm hoping to have enough corals to need a Calcium reactor though!

hello,
Could be possible to water down (dilute) the Component 1+2+3 with osmotic water (1/10) so that the dosing pumps work better? Inviato dal mio iPad utilizzando Tapatalk |

What for do you need dilute Component 123? Fundamentally its nothing wrong but we recommend to use classic products prepared by us. Best regards, Aquaforest |

Just started component 1 2 3 and need some help. 60 gallons total water volume. Started at 21ml of each and my dkh dropped .4 dkh. I upped the dose to 36 ml and still dropped .4 dkh Currently sitting at 7.0 dkh and 395 calcium. Should I just keep increasing the dose by 10 or so ml until its stable? Any advice helping me dial my dose in will be greatly apprecitated. Thanks

So if im dosing equal amounts of each and dkh continues to drop but ca and mg stay consistent then i should make a batch of kh without the micro elements and manually add kh on top of what the doser is adding til system stabilizes?

That is correct and you can do that until you catch up to your Alk consumption. Once you find your balancing point for your Alk, then match the calcium and reef mineral salts at the same ml.
It will balance . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I am wondering since balancing. Can we increase the concentration of kh buffer in component 2 to increase the kh rather than dosing separately additional kh buffer. Will it react with other chemical in c2 n cause issues?
