Red Sea No3 Po4

[Animal-Chin]

1) What was the measurement of po and no before dosing?

My PO was really low but my nitrate was around 80.

2) did you start off with a small dose and ramp up?

Yes, I followed the recomended ramp up schedule.

3) any ill effects to the sps when dosing this?

Yes, I burnt the tips on a bunch of acro as my alk was around 10. I also had RTN on a huge colony of birdsnest, not sure if this was because of the dosing but it happened shorty after I started.

4) does the skimmer overflow or skim more after dosing?

yes, I went from emptying my cup every 5 days to having to do it every 2. Super black gunk started skimming out on day 2.

5) how long have you been using it?

I used 2 bottles worth and didn't like the results. My nitrate dropped but stopped at 20 and I wasn't willing to put more than the max recommended dosage so I stopped. I switched to biopellets and like them WAY more. My nitrate is at 5 most of the time and I don't have to dose daily.
