A lot of people who've tried the system praise ATI Essentials. Too bad it's not available in the states. I'm also quite tempted by the ATI water testing kits, but frankly don't really need them lol..
ATI rarely swings and misses, even with things far removed from their bread and butter. |

Thanks... the ATI Essentials are really working well for me and not to be tied down to water changes is a god send

I've seen this tank in person shortly after setup. The tank has come a long way. Glad to see you sharing the results on this forum Brett.

Beautiful pictures and great tank! Tell us about the ATI essentials, people in the US are not familiar. Also what are your nutrient running at? Filtration? Pics of the sump are always fun to see.

Amazing !!!
May I ask what salt did you use to start with ? Am planning to get some ATI essentials and replace my Aquaforest balling with it . I am using Aquaforest Probiotic salt and wonder if I start with ATI essentails, whether it will create imbalance in the trace elements ? Lastly , any particular coral food you use beside ATI Essentials? Regards, Abhishek |

ATi have a lab for a ICP testing service which i've used to make sure everything is balanced as it should be, it also calculates salinity, KH and tests for Nitrates thats really helpful. I don't feed my corals anything just feed fish which is just frozen mysis and spirulina brineshrimp. Nothing else is added to the tank apart Essentials, iodine and vanadium ATI supplements. |
