hi was wondering what ac the bros here use...since i didn't really cared about using ac(always bought the cheapest i could find)in the past until i started keeping arowana one month+ back which i figured i should really get serious now that i'm keeping aros...so er i'm currently using nutrafin aquaplus not sure if this is a good enough ac

I'm currently using AZOO for AC. So far so good.

I'm using SeaChem Safe powder form. No complaints. Bought the largest possible because of my tank size.

Using AST for some time now.. No complaints. There was a thread previously on the perks of using AST by Tay for rays and other sensitive species due to its unique chemical bonding agent or something that breaks down harmful stuff into a safer compound than other ACs in the market.

i've looked through that thread bro...which is why i'm pretty convinced it's a pretty darn good ac and i'm wondering if i should upgrade to ast or maintain using nutrafin aquaplus since ast pricewise is a pretty big stepup from aquaplus

Not suitable for pleco comms i think. Followed the instruction and somehow every water change sure have a few casualties.
Reverting back to seachem safe solved the problem. Not sure what went wrong.

I don't have troubles using AST with Panaque Plecos.

Main tank has 2 big (12") L27 Xingu and GL....
Small Tank has 2 small (7") L27 Xingu and Thunder.
Both tanks WC 80% 2x weekly with AST.
Been doing so more couple months with no problems.
