Thinking of going fauna

In your second post you wrote

Dosing:

.... The daily dose per 100 L of tank volume is 2 drops of UltraBio, half a tablespoon of UltraLife and 2 drops of UltraBio. ....

Is this a misprint?
and what is ultralife

FM products can be used in conjunction with other FM products for different uses.

Dosing Bio with Ultra Life is a way of reducing nutrients and cyno outbreaks naturally.

Ultra life is a multi purpose clay binding agent, its pupose in the main is to bind the water bound nutrients for them to be skimmed out.

I have not gone down this route of explanation as yet as to not confuse you with too many products before we know what the issues (if any) are with your system

See, Aqua digital is so quick they posted the answer while I was still typing, I was sent a sample of the Bio and the Ultralife and it solved the problems in the corner tank.

Also dec is an insanely busy time for me as a dog groomer so nothing will happen until the new year. I'm researching now so I know what to spend all my xmas gift certificates on

UNSIGHTLY!!! you have got to be kidding, your tank is amazing. If you are wanting to try something I do recommend the Ultralith line, I recieved a demo of Ultra Bio and the food source (powder in a bottle with no label, perhaps the Fauna folk could identify what it is) I used it on the 90 corner tank and it cleared up my nuisance algae as well as a real bad case of cyano.

Hey Dave do you still have your fancy water tester thing? Would it give me an accurate nitrate, phosphate reading?

[Aqua-Digital]

That reminds me I need a hair cut

Take your time, I am happy to keep providing advise and answer questions when required

(missing label = sample bottle from large vat of product ) This was the Ultra Life I speak of above

Best wishes
Michael

Yes I still have that fancy thing, give me a ring and I can stop over and give you a baseline.

PO4 test - I really need a heat test to determine anything.

Thanks, I do the heated sample and readings are taken using Medusa colorometer, as accurate as we can get around here.
