Hi

All good, except your Nitrate, this rise can only be caused by

A, Over feeding relative while you were away
B, Under dosing while away.

To stop this instability you need to add to the mix the Lith rock which we discussed in PM

To get the nitrate under control again from this, do as follows

2 drops of bio
1ML of Bak
1ML of Min-S (i said 2ml in pm ignore that)

Stop feeding Ultra clam until nitrates back down

Ok here is your first ultra Lith dosing

1/4 of a tub of Ultra lith for two weeks with the following dosing

Ultra Bio - 4 drops a day
Ultra Bak - 2ml a day
Ultra Min-S - 2ml a day

After two weeks I will let you know what to do next

Important - Get your DKH down to 7.0 and turn all skimmers off for 2 hours after dosing

Hmmmmmmmm well after many months of being off the Ultra Lith system. and weening off the BIo from my tank. My colors just dont cut it as myself and Doug were looking at the tank before I headed out to BC. We did see a huge color change in the SPS and Red turf coming back.:cry: I know and seen the tank go to outstanding views from the ULTRA LITH and not being off it the t ank does look like crap.

I will be going back on it once I am stable at home.
and it doesn't cost that much to run either.....

Hi Mike,

When was the last time you changed your bulbs?

Thanks,
Mitch

Skimmerking 12-21-2009 12:03 AM

im changing to a 20 k reeflux bulb

MitchM 12-21-2009 12:14 AM

Yeah but how old are the existing bulbs? Could that be contributing to the lack of colour in your corals?

Skimmerking 12-21-2009 01:01 AM

Yes i have stopped the ultra system. so but the stopping of the product did in fact cause the color to drop.

Aqua-Digital 12-21-2009 09:16 PM

we will rectify this in the new year, and your FM ultra phos is sitting here, sorry the P3 expansion kit rush has stopped all reviews in their tracks until I can get my head above water :cry:

Skimmerking 12-21-2009 10:00 PM

yes thanks Mike for the great support looking forward to redoign this trial again to give it some better attention last 8 months has been retarded for me. so that wasnt fair for you.
