Tropic Marine Reef Actif

[Tank2379]

Ok I purchased a bottle Reef Actif to get my corals to color up a little better, well I got the bottle today and it states on the bottle dosage is for one measuring spoon once a week for a 130G system? How do I measure for a 72G, sorry my math isn't as crisp as some of you guys...

Thanks

Anyone?

One measuring spoon, is that a teaspoon or table spoon? I know I'm a bit off, and have NO experience with anything saltwater... but would guess about 1/2 of what they want since your water volume is about 1/2?

55% of the recommended dosage.. 55.38 to be more exact or... well you can do the math. (72/130)*100, Your math teacher is cringing right now

or 1/2 if you're not particular

I take ti one measuring spoon would be a Tablespoon so I would take it as a 1/2 Table spoon weekly...

i would go with half. by the time you take in for rocks and sand ect you prolly have close to half the water volume. with that said who makes a producted thats measured liquid dosage is designed around a 130 gallons. lol

A better way to colour up your corals is have the right lighting and keep your water para's very good.
Colours will go insane.

I wanted to try the Reef Actif out to see how much more coloration I can get out my corals, but yeah One measuring Spoon for 130G system is kinda hard to determine what is needed for smaller systems...

Try mixing it in a gallon of tank water (at your next PWC), then only dosing half a gallon.
