procedure. Thanks

If you are required to dose Alk/Cal/Mag to maintain constant levels, you will still need to continue dosing these elements when adding Coral A / B / E / V as these supplements do not replenish calcium alk or magnesium.

In terms of vinegar that is a carbon source. Aquaforest makes NP Pro which would replace your vinegar and they also make pro bio F which is another carbon source. Either on of these products would replace your vinegar and biopellets, however, you would also need to supplement a bacteria Pro Bio S.

Aquaforests does make Component 1+ 2+ 3+ which is a calcium/alkalinity/magnesium and mineral salt system with the added Trace elements and heavy metals. Or you could make your own and add the trace elements (component strong) and mineral salt. This is what I do as the 5liter pre made jugs would be to costly in my system. Really depends on your system demand.

I currently running the full aquaforest system and have been extremelyhappy with it.
