Nitrates and phosphates - Red Sea NO3:PO4-X

[Treebeard]

Fish in this tank:

- Box fish
- Hippo tang
- Sailfin tang
- Kole tang
- Lawnmower blenny
- Royal Gramma
- Clown fish
- Matted file fish
- Leopard eel

The morning feeding is either a 2" square piece of nori or a New Era grazer.
The evening feeding is a couple of pinches of NLS pellets.
The eel gets a couple of 1/4" chunks of shrimp every 3 days.
I also feed the tank a small chunk of mysis once a week.

THE CUC was reduced to a couple of larger turbo snails until last week when I added a fresh crew consisting of about 22 hermits and 1/2 dozen snails.

Are you on a canister filter or a sump

Running about 25 gallons in a sump. Also running GFO and carbon in a couple of TLF reactors.

After further consideration, perhaps vodka dosing should be tried instead of spending money on fancy alternatives. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

another option is bio pellets as well

go slow if you go VSV find out what you need and work slowly to it , dont expect results over night , since its carbon dosing it needs to be handled slowly and monitored closely over time youll find your sweet spot and how much you need.


cheers!
