I'm running Zeovit, but the same carbon dosing principles apply:

- Keep it consistent. Ideally set it up on an automatic doser (BRS 1.1mL/min is ideal), and split up your dosing to run several times per day. (I run 4x per day, every 6 hours).

- You can over do it. If you start seeing algae/diatom-ish blooms, take 2-3 days break and then start back up with say 25% less.

- Don't make HUGE changes too fast. If you aren't happy with your nitrate/phosphate levels, change your dosing by 10% - then do it for 2 weeks and see if it has changed anything.
