what brand of trace element you using?

[LIM CHYE HUAT]

as above

I have tried Aquapharm, Seachem, Tropic Marine, Salifert & Koralin and here's my 2 cents.

Aquapharm - Cheap but seems diluted, not much info

Seachem - Reasonably priced, name of products too confusing, state effective ingredients eg. Reef Calcium, Reef Complete, Reef Advantage Calcium -

Salifert - Resonably priced, seems diluted, state effective ingredients

Tropic Marine - Concentrated powder form, state effective ingredients, slightly pricey, powder cake easily

Koralin - Concentrated powder form, some packaging only have German text, pricey, cake easily but not as bad as Tropic Marine

Conclusion: Prefer Koralin due to its potency and results.

I prefer Salifert and Tropic Marin...

I have no chance to try the products you have in that link but have tried their PurePhos and Epozy.

I feel that they are a really value for money company. For example the Purephos, although cannot absorb faster than the Rowa, it is definitely more value for money than the Rowa. And if you compare the Purephos with some other brand within the same price range as the Purephos, you will find that the Purephos performs better.

Ultimately, I feel that if you compare apple for apple, Aquaz is a brand that is worth every cents.

What I also like about Aquaz is that they don't oversell on their products, they do not claim that they performs miracles unlike some other brands.

I have been using Aquaz Hydro Triplex Premium & Alkalinity Premium.....so far I am contented with the it....

[Gouldian]

I will be trying out Aquaz Kalkwasser soon cuz I am a believer of Kalk plus I use Kalkreactor mah.

Heard from some of the bros, it is just as good as the former Reefez if not better.

SO far I have tried most of these range and I kind of like them, they r cheap and good!!!

I just hope that they will continue as I'm worried they just might just disappear from the market!!!

I find it kind of odd that trace element additive is being judged by the consistency of the solution. I would think that as the description "TRACE" suggests, the elements would occur in minute amounts, probably in the order of ppb.

Even Tropic Marine has the K+ and A- trace additive, and under the judging criteria, it would probably go under the "diluted" category.

I personally have used SeaChem Trace, AquaPharm Trace, Tropic Marine A- & K+, Tropic Marine Pro Coral Mineral.

Can really say that which is more effective (unless I set up proper experimentation environment, with controls). But they are not doing any damage either.

Hack, for all I know, these things may be keeping my tank from crashing.

I am using Kent Marine now.

I have tried Seachem, Salifert and KentMarine.

Observation:

Kent Marine Seems to be easily "skim out" by my H&S skimmer. Previously was using salifert and no such issue.

[djviper]

i have been using aquaz stuff i would say not bad ~ super value for money

Yep, I find Aquaz value for $$ too.

Yep, I find Aquaz value for $$ too.

Would you mind defining what do you mean by "value" in this circumstance?

[sherman]

I am using Seachem Trace and SeaLab 28

Sealab 28 is easier to use.Just throw the cake into your tank

and not worry about overdose.
