nopox

I’ve seen this discussed a few times but I still have questions about switching carbon sources. My tank wb220 about 155-170gallon actual water volume has been running for an over a year and a half, it was started and cycled using media from my previous 9 year old 125g tank. I’ve overstocked it...

I should really have started doing this a couple years back. NO3PO4-X usually sells for $45 give or take, and I could make so much more by just buying the Vodka, Vinegar and mixing in with RODI so what follows is a Quoted recipe from a 5yr old Nopox Recipe thread that I found on R2R. Credit goes...

What are some good bacteria in a bottle products to get NoPoX going and doing its thing? I've had mixed results with other commercial carbon sources so far, so I'd like to start using NOPOX since its known to just work in the vast majority of cases. My tank uses dry rock and only has fish at...

Hello, my tanks is 50Liter, is it okay if i add nopox 1/2 ml + brightwell reef biofuel 1/2ml?

Hi, I have a Fluval evo 52L (13 gallon) 1 kenya tree frag 1 plating monti 1 gsp frag 2 small clownfish So nothing heavy at the moment, looking to get some more corals in the future I had issues with phosphate/nitrate causing huge amounts of green algae that I now have under control by using...

Hello everyone I’m just started dosing nopox in my nuvo 30 I’m starting low as everyone suggest .5 mil a day may bump it up a lil as nitrates are around 20ppm. Anyway I plan to switch over to all for reef for dosing big 3. Is it safe to use AFR with nopox? Someone mentioned AFR uses a carbon...

I have had my tank going on 4 years. I almost crashed it a couple months back but brought it back from the dead. This week I accidentally dosed too much NoPoX and yesterday discovered all except one of my clowns died. I killed my green clown goby, platinum clown, hawk fish, and six line wrasse...

Would like to share my experience with NoPox over the last 5 weeks most of it being good although my BTAs seem to HATE IT. (I was dealing with cyano) Some Background of tank first: 80 gallon mixed reef containing BTAs, zoas, many trumpets, trachyphyllia, sun coral, purple stylophora, bicolor...

Red Sea Supplements -Trace Colors -NOPOX -Foundation Elements $45 (Never Opened, Not Expired)

I am currently running a 55 gallon mixed reef. I have been dosing about 1.5-2ml's of NOPOX daily by hand. I currently run a Neptune DOS to do daily water changes of 2500ml. The Clean water reservoir holds 17500mls for a 7 day supply of water changes. Would it be feasible to to dose 10-14MLs of...

I was wondering if you can dose no pox and have activated carbon in your sump cause I’ve heard they counter act eachother

Hi guys, I have been having problems for a while now with gha and diatoms and cotton candy algae in my 800litre mixed reef. I am currently using RowaPhos and NoPox and nitrates and phosphates are reading zero. I am confused tbh whether or not I have too many/ too little nutrients. I was...

I've been fighting algae in my 55 gallon tank for a year, first with hair algae, and now Cyanobacteria "I know it's not an algae". Water changes haven't helped, GFO isn't helping. I've heard great things about Red Sea Nopox and want to give it a shot. Is it safe to use on a tank without a skimmer?

OK, so I've been battling high NO3 & PO4 for a couple of weeks now. I've read almost every thread with the same issues, but I can't seem to get any subtle changes for the better. I'm at a loss for what to do. I'm not looking for a quick fix, but I'd love to be able to see *some* changes for the...

So I was speaking to my LFS earlier and they said that my alk could be rising because I have started using nopox to lower nitrates. This sounded odd but what they said kind of made sense and the time frames coinside. So my nitrates where really high at 40ppm before and my alk was at 9.1. I...

Hey guys, was wondering if anyone had any tips on improving water clarity while using the Triton method and carbon dosing. My tank always looks like a milkshake and I'm not sure how to improve it without disrupting the nutrient balance. I run higher end nutrient levels 10-15ppm no3 and carbon...

Hey guys first time posting in here hopefully I can get some answers as I can’t get any in my usual Facebook groups. So basically I started noticing this white “film” all over the substrate one day, I didn’t know what it was but didn’t look like it could be beneficial so I then syphoned all the...

Reefers who have experienced this issue please chime in!!! I have been watching alkalinity burn slowly take place over the last few days. I was letting my dad dose for me while on vacation and because I was waiting on my hannah reagent in the mail I used the API KH test kit I had on hand. The...

Hello. I would like know your experience dousing nopox when you have uv sterilizer and ozone, it have some problem or maybe or know if the ozone and uv reduce the nopox effect That is because i have the two systems and i start yo use nopox but the nitrates level doesnt star to be reduced

Hello!!! im trying reduce nitrates in my tank because it are between 50-100 ppm. i stoped to use carbon dosing because i had a bloom of ostreopsis, currently i Have controlled the ostreopsis with a uv Lamp but i can see some in the aragonite. My algae scrubber doesent wroug and my...

Hi all, I'm now using a D-D P4 Pro dosing pump and which give great control over chemical anti-interference, split dosing over a schedule etc. and its got me researching for answers to a couple of questions... For each of my Alkalinity, Calcium, Magnesium, NoPoX ... Recommended times of day to...

I'm currently on my 3rd week of dosing vodka to reduce nitrates in my tank, when I remember that I stumbled upon a couple of DIY NOPOX recipes that mix vodka, vinegar, and rodi water (sometimes). What are the benefits, if any, to dosing the DIY NOPOX vs the vodka I'm currently using?

As title states I have an imbalance, I’ve been dosing 3/4 vinegar and 1/4 vodka for about a year an a half with great success other than having a small imbalance. I’ve been going fallow for over a month now and after adjusting my dosing I’ve leveled out at 0 no3 and .o2-.03 po4. What is the best...

Afternoon reefers... I upgraded my Fluval Evo to a 60 gallon long AIO back in August when we moved to a new house. I battled nutrients and algae (every kind) over the year that the Evo was running, mostly due to the fact I was new to reefing and made ALL of the rookie mistakes, some over and...

Hey guys! I'm trying to switch from nopox to vinegar for my carbon dosing. Nopox has been going great for me but obviously more costly. Would just like some info on how to go about vinegar dosing. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
