I can use 200 ml phyto in 120. I only dose weekly when I do that though. Key word recommendation dose and more can pollute tank.

@steveschuerger check alk not recommended dose!!!!

Well adding a ¾ dose has shown almost instant results. Torches in particular. And yes I’ll check Alk, probably tomorrow morning .

I think I see more pods for one after a few days. And even if you see it, I think some phyto hangs around adding to the microscopic fauna and flora in the tank

That's not really low. It's probably about what most people run.

Just to add…imho 8s are the safest spot for alk. It allows for your hanna to have a margin of error and not be too high or low

 

[6t4nova]

Mine runs 8.1-8.2
