Just never ends I do feed alot because of my pipes the tank is 60g . So figured I would give these products a go.

Pro Bio F is for seeding a new system
Pro Bio S is for daily dosing an established system.
NP Pro is the Carbon for feeding the bacteria.

What are your Nitrates and Phosphates reading now? Remember, bacteria need Nitrates, Phosphates and Carbon to grow. If your nitrates bottom out the bacteria won't consume Phosphates until there's more nitrates.

great so the pro bio f is no good then I should have checked on here first . Will go back for the np pro tomorrow. My nitrates are close to none at all I might try a new test kit and I cant find my phosphate kit so I will replace that too. Im just assuming its phosphates due to algae growth . It actually started from a tank teardown I helped a guy out stored a couple corals in my tank for a few days and now I cant get rid of the stuff . I will report back tomorrow with test results
