Why We Make Not A Feesh 2-Part and Trace Supplements?

At the beginning, we just wanted to give our corals the best nutrient with the least impurity on a reasonable budget. And then we found out that our corals are happy and grow much faster using our own supplemtns and 3-part. Then some customers also want to try it out. And their corals love NAF supplemts too! So we started to sell our branded 3-part(now 2-part) and trace elements. Because we believe your corals also deserve high quality nutrients without breaking the bank!

Key Feature About Not A Feesh 2-Part Set:

  1. Sodium hydroxide as alkalinity supplement to boost the pH. Corals generally like good pH ranges from 8.0-8.4. If the low point of pH in a day gets close to or even lower than 7.8, corals will have weaker immunity. Some SPS corals will suddenly die over night because some slightly changes. Our alkalinity supplement is NaOH, generally will give a pH boost about 0.2.(DISCLAIMER: pH boost result may varies based on different tank conditions. Other factors will undermine NaoH's boost to pH sucj as high concentration of indoor CO2 level. Therefore, 0.2 pH boost is NOT a guaranteed result).
  2. Provide trace elements for coral growth and even spawning! Sensitive but beautiful LPS like goniopora needs trace elements (eg, Iodide, Maganese) replenished from time to time to thrive. A good example is our Glitter Bomb goniopora's transformation on the right side! Acroporas, Acanthophyllia, Scolymia also need trace elements to fully develope their unique colors.
  3. Routine ICP tank water testing to monitor results and improve the recipe. As mention, we dose our 2-part into our own coral tanks. And we do ICP-MS and ICP-OES tests regularly on all our tanks to review the element levels. Then we do improvment and upgrates on our 2-part based on results on our tanks and customers' feed back. Here is one example of our customers' tanks.

We are happy to help with your tank and get feedback from you about how your corals react to our supplements! Message us anytime on Facebook!

NaOH boost higher pH per dkh added than NaHCO3

The 2-part Helps Your Corals Growth!

Higher pH : 8.0-8.4 will help corals especially SPS stays in healthier condition and grow faster. (Read Dr. Randy Homes-Farley's article - Low pH: Causes and Cures). And NaOH will boost higher pH without making the dKH level in your tank through the roof.

On the picture, the customer has a acro frag that took off after switching to NAF 2-part and experience significant growth in 2 months. This customer has been using our 2-part for over a year by 2024 December. Click the link below to see how his tank develops over the past 12 months.

The 2-part Helps Your Coral Develop Colors!

Minor and Trace elements play an important role in corals' color by participating in the coral's skeleton and enzymes development. The picture shows one of our customer's button scoly color development after 1 month of doing NAF 2-part.

However, direct relationship between specific chemical element to specific color is not scientifically tested or proven. We do not recommend levitating specific trace element to gain specific color in your corals.

What Material You Use To Make The Supplements?

We use ACS reagent grade salts for the trace elements, and USP or higher for NaOH, CaCl2, MgCl2, and MgSO4.

ACS Grade: Acceptable for food, drug, or medicinal use and can be used for ACS applications or for general procedures that require stringent quality specifications and a purity of ≥95%.

USP Grade: A very high purity grade (>98%）of chemical or solvent that is safe to be used in many pharmaceutical and personal care products.

How Do I Use The Two-part？

  1. Put Part 1a & Part 1b supplement together into a clean and dry 1 gallon HDPE or GLASS container.
  2. Put Part 2 supplement into another clean and dry 1 gallon HDPE or GLASS container.
  3. Add RODI water into the container until the container has a total volume of 1 gallon.
  4. Do the same for the part 2 to make two 1-gallon supplement for dosing.
  5. We recomend set up a doser with 2-head to dose our 2-part 24 hours/ day. For example, dose part A(Alkalinity) at 1:00 AM, Part B (Calcium) at 1:05 AM, Part C (Magnesium) at 1:10 AM. Next round of dosing the 3 is: 2:00 AM, 2:05 AM, 2:1O AM... DO NOT dose alkalinity and calcium at the same time otherwise it will cause precipitation.

How Do I Know How Much I Should Dose Into My Tank?

We have instruction for calculating dosage on Alkalinity label.

For a desired change in Alkalinity A, and a water volume in gallons V, the amount of supplement to add D(ml) may be calculated as follow:

D= 0.5462436637 x A x V

Ex.： To increase the alkalinity by 0.1 dkh in a 50 gallon system, you would add:

0.542436637 x 0.1 x 50 = 2.72ml

If your tank only consumes 0.1 dkh a day, you should divide the whole amount (here is 2.72ml) by 24 for 24 hours auto dosing. so each hour, you dose"

2.72 ml /24 = 0.11333 ml

About Dosing

Can You Help Me with My Tank Element Level Correction?

Yes, definitely! While our 2-part setcan help improving the element balance in your reef tank. It is beneficial to do a ICP test and evaluate the elements and contamination level in your tank from time to time.

We can help you to correct your tank water following the steps:

  1. You do a ICP-OES or ICP-ms test for your reef tank.(We use and also sell ATI ICP-OES water test kit)
  2. Send us the digital ICP-OES report. Please email us (hunter@notafeesh.com) or message us on Facebook to setup your case.
  3. We calculate the needed element solution for the correction.
  4. You confirm and pay for the customized water correction solution - Ordering customized correction solution is more economic than buying all separated trace element bottles at once.
  5. We make the solution for you to pickup or we can ship it to you via UPS ground.
  6. Major element correction will contain SO₄²- & Cl- to maintain correct sulphate & chloride ratio. Calcium: CaCl2 & CaSO4. Magnesium: MgCl2 & MgSO4.
