Hello,
I am looking for a rtn/stn solution
(stn in my case - oregon blue tort) while solving the presumed issues - high nitrate via carbon dosing , and low ph via re implementing soda ash and co2 scrubbing; i still need to solve the stn problem.
I came across fauna marin rtn/stn x, pricey for how they tell you to use it - broad distributed in tank every day for 10 days. would cost more than the frag in question. Is there an alternative product I can use? since the frag is glued to the rock work , i would ideally like to find something that i can use to spot treat it with a turkey baster while pumps are off..
fauna marin :
Water, Zinc, Chelators
Active ingredient: pyridine-2-thiol-1-oxide
a source said fauna marins product is made from chrysanthemum extract? i have not the bottle in front of me to confirm.
if its anything like triton's rtn/stn x, while unavailable to me, should be ok with doing the spot treatment/in tank bath. (not sure of triton ingredients)
anyone use witch hazel for stn / rtn? is it safe for spot treatment or broad distribution in a tank? what would be the mixing/dilution directions .
