dosing nutrients

My tank is a 80 gallon tank I am dosing 15ml of neo nitro and its brings my nitrate to .05 ppm (testing 30 min after dosing with hanna nitrate hr) i tested 24 hr later and its 0 ppm do i keep uping the dose until it stays at a consistent number?

Hey guys, So I've been dealing with chronic low nutrients throughout my fallow period in my Red Sea Reefer 250. Phosphates are 0 and Nitrates are 0 as well. I'm giving ESV B-Ionic Nitrate a shot in order to combat the issue. The problem is that there are virtually no reviews or information...

Anyone point me in the right direction on where to buy bulk phytoplankton, looking for 7 gallons. Preferably a hobbyist or smaller business first. Thank you in advance.

Hey All, My Tank: 65 gal Mixed SPS/LPS/Fish - just received (from a friend) about $8000 in coral (SPS and LPS), tank was cycled for about 2 - 3 months prior to adding them. I just bought an Apex DOS with the dual reservoir, however I have red sea Three part reef foundation (A,B,C). I have a...

Afternoon all, My tank is 3 years old and up until recently I have always had high nutrient issues, which I've thrown the kitchen sink at with no lasting success until recently. I apparently hit the magic recipe or my tank finally reached stability and my tank was looking really. For the first...

Hi Everyone, I have been battling Dinos in my tank. I plan to increase my nutrients in my tank. I have Neophos and Neonitro. Brightwell recommends adding Microbacter7 with these products. Why do they recommend Micorbacter7 in conjunction? Can I still not add MB7 and have the same results ? Thanks

Hello, I am a new reef keeper, I have a red sea 250 reefer (55g display) that has been running for about 3 months now. Everything seems to be going well, but about a week ago my nitrates reached about 10ppm (API Test Kit), and a lot of brown spots (possibly diatoms) and some green spots started...

This quote summarises my current understanding of nutrient reduction with biopellets: If biopellets reduce N and P in a 16:1 ratio, then it follows that by providing excessive nitrogen (not NO3), phosphate should be reduced further, while nitrate should still be at an undetectable level. Can I...

So as of right now, I feed my corals and fish Rod's about 2 days a week, sometimes 3, and Red Sea A + B along with phytoplankton about every other day. Should I be adding in something else or substitute? I use to use Reef Roids, but noticed phosphates and algae problems with that. I just...

Hi all! Im just cycling a new tank with complete dry rock. I had no lights on for the first 3 month and threw a shrimp into the tank and added some bacteria. The bacteria broke down the shrimp and i had some nutrients in the tank all the time. After 3 months ive added some fish and switched...
