I test all parameters minus phosphate every other day as I'm tuning dosers...
Do you guys reccomend a nitrate to dose ? Fish of hex ? I watch all of his videos and thought about giving it a go. Should this be dosed via a doser or by hand is suitable ?
My phosphates are about .04.. I always thought dosing nitrates was a bad idea as you're just correcting an underlying problem of nutrients. I don't know what's exporting all the nitrates from my tank. Before this I was seeing about 10 ppm nitrates steady
Howdy,
Here we go again with the nitrates being bottomed out... I commenced a heavy feed and reef roids dosage to my corals - once a week. I have brown slimy stuff on the substrate but no where else, I am going to hold off a week on doing a water change as my nitrates seemed to bottom out when...
Howdy for an Update...
I've managed to get my nitrates & phosphates in check. I have not done a water change in about 3 weeks now.
Nitrates : 2.5ppm
Phosphate: .04ppm
Calcium: 440
Alk: 8.0
Mg: 1365 (Just got a salifert checker so never actually tracked it... nor will I chase it - it will come...
Love the style of the stand as well as your decorating haha.
The itch spreads so quick!! Just don't go crazy and run into an issue and exit the hobby quicker than you got in
As stated I wouldnt be home until later in the evening. You haven't sent a photo of the back chamber to ensure the pump i have will fit. I'll be home in ~ an hour.
Send a photo of the pump you currently have so I can compare to the one I have
What corals do you have ? Do you have any pests in your tank? Crazy algae? Give us the history and some may be more inclined to say yes. I have plenty of room in my frag tank... However, I'm not about to introduce some coral with loads of issues
Send a picture of the back chamber.... I have an even smaller pump from harbor freight that I used to use water earlier on.. may be your best bet now that I think of it.
