So I’ve had dinos for a while now, tried low lighting, dosing with special blend and nite out, and manual removal. But it’s not really making a dent. So going to look at nitrate and phosphate dosing.
Attached are the tests I’ve just done.
Nitrate at 2 (aiming for 3-10 as per BRS guidance)
Phosphate at 0 (aiming for 0.03-0.09 as per BRS).
So I believe I want to dose neonitro at 30ml and neophos at 14ml as per my calcs at the bottom.
also going to dose Dino X (worth a try) at 6ml.
Tank is 120 litres. Stocked with 2 x clowns, 3 x green chromis, an anemone (who’s not been very happy with all the faffing), a cleaner shrimp, a pistol shrimp, 4 x astro snails, 2 x conch, 6 x Trochus snails, 3 x zoas and a star polyp (I think).
Running a tunze comline skimmer, fluval 7 canister filter and 2 fluval marine 3 lights. Light details attached (currently have smaller light period)
Opinions? Suggestions? Haven’t dosed the above yet as waiting for lights to finish cycle. Tank attached, looks a little sad as have just blown off and removed some dinos.
