    Trouble raising nitrate level

    The nitrate level on my tank is below .1ppm. I have been dosing the equivalent of 1 ppm sodium nitrate for a few days and every morning I test its back around 0. I tested minutes after dosing and read around 1ppm and I even dosed to my water change bucket and got 1ppm. So I am pretty certain my...

    Dosing Soda Ash - going from manually by hand to a doser...

    Hi all, I have been dosing manually by hand each day - up until now... I have a new GHL Doser I am setting up. Up until now, I have been mixing 1tsp of Soda Ash in RODI water and manually adding it to the tank each day. This has been keeping my Alk and pH right where I want them. Now that I...

    Potassium Iodide should be added to which of the 3 part solutions?

    Hi! I never had the colours I wanted in my corals, so I decided to perform an ICP test. The only big gap was Iodine, so I started dosing RF Potassium Iodide manually. Just 2 drops per day and It made a HUGE difference! My dosing pumps have 3 part dosing (AF Components Pro) and Vodka. I'm...

    Thousand Ways To Use Dosing Pumps

    I'm curious to find out what people are using their dosing pumps for! Mainly other than standard 2-part. What other supplements can we automate by incorporating dosing pumps? Diluting products that normally are dosed by drops or caps? Using automatic magnetic stirrers, to suspend solids? Come...

    Ammonia dosing- keep dosing or stop? So many questions!

    Comparing strength of 2-part brands

    My question is about the relative strength/concentration of different 2-part brands. I've been using the BRS pharma pouches for years, and they work well. However I also use the RedSea Coral Colors trace elements, and they suggest dosing based on the uptake of calcium... RedSea calcium! So to...

    Dosing pumps; operation investigation

    I find myself planning to purchase a solid, reasonably reliable, 4 channel dosing pump. I’ve heard a lot of horror stories regarding dosing pumps, but I realize that when you hear about something it’s at least 10x more likely to be a negative story. Also, nothing risked nothing gained. Thus I...

    Ran out of Core7 3b and the replacement will not arrive until the 19th.

    So I realized that I ran out of Triton Core7 3B this morning, and upon searching, can't find the refill carton that I thought I had. I ordered the 5L Jugs a few days ago but they will not arrive until the 19th. I looked around and it lists 3B as Alkalinity + Trace, which is the same as 3a, but...
