It sounds like you have a sudden influx of organic waste in your water. The pellets are responding to an increase in their food source. The rapid...
I'd start with 100ml and add another 100ml in 2-3 weeks.
Hello, I think you're fine. Run approx 100ml and see how it goes. If it's low bio-load the skimmer should still be able to keep up. But on second...
Well as with many things in this hobby, the benefits between a good solid skimmer and a better skimmer are probably minimal. You may consistently run...
Hi Chris, Being a ULNS promoting product, ecoBAK has similarities to Zeo type systems. So many of the tips and tricks of ULNS aquaria have been...
let me know how it goes... thanks Jon
Hello, Just a few points for others in your situation. 1) The primary export for PO4 using Carbon dosing is protein skimming. With insufficient...
These power outages around the nation always seem to occur about this time of year... and always cause problems for people. What happens is, when the...
Even 4-6 weeks is common...
just a little more flow...
yes you really do need a skimmer. You need to export the waste product produced by the bacteria consuming ecoBAK or you won't see the nutrients drop.
Microbe Lift "Special Blend" and ProdiBio "Bio-Digest" are the two best products at this time...
We will update the site soon... for now check: Saltwater Aquarium Supplies, Protein Skimmers, Aquarium Filters, Chillers, LED Lighting, Aquarium...
In a word, NO. We like to direct the output water into the same compartment as the protein skimmer because it better facilitates the export of the...
yes absolutely. When you have a large reactor with a small quantity of ecoBAK the flow can be erratic.
Hello Pickupman, But it doesn't matter much... If you only have 8 fish that just means that you will have smaller colonies on your pellets surface....
It's about surface area and total mass of organic Carbon available for consumption. Now in a low bioload tank bacterial colonies on the pellets will...
I don't recommend high flow rates with ecoBAK for 90% of the users. The only exception is for systems with VERY LOW nutrients where you are...
Hello, No they contain nothing that would raise Carbonate Alkalinity. All low nutrient systems do best at 7-8 ALK.
you're probably fine... not all systems will experience a bloom. Most people will add a product like Special Blend for a couple weeks and be rid of...
