I've done it both ways. I think I'm for dosing some bacteria to keep up diversity, but no evidence its critical.
Oh, using an auto doser is definitely the way to go. Try to spread the dose out over several applications a day if you can.
I tried pellets for years. It always failed because I couldn't keep the tumble consistent. Liquid carbon dosing is actually more controllable and I...
Most Interesting.
If I wasn't running Zeo, I'd have UV on permanently. Tank looks good with it going. Also I'm claiming my props for being first to this cure. is...
I'm glad to hear it's working. The alternative was that we were going to have a hard time solving the problem!
perfect, thanks!
I actually have a little Sicce I've been saving for the purpose, but I can't find fittings to throttle it down to air hose size. I may try harder.
Stay with us. Don't let it get you down.
My alk hovers around 135 ppm and it's been doing this since it was new. I've replaced the aqualifter feed pump and all the lines. It may be the...
okay, I'm about to drop the calcium reactor and go back to dosing pumps. Before I do I'd like to enlist the combined expertise around here and see...
Yes. Sometimes the draft doesn't clear from the reply box no matter what I try. No error code.
iPad mobile browser, Safari, 2pm, Houston, no idea what those are.
There may or may not be an underlying issue. When I had this it was that my skimmer was incorrectly assembled and therefore not skimming very small...

Thanks OFK. Nice to see you around!
Thanks! I was about to give up on the reactor and put dosing pumps back in when it all of a sudden dialed in. If it behaves, it can stay.
Pic could also be very helpful. Precipitate would manifest other symptoms. Pumps and heaters would have a yellowish precipitate on them.
I had a persistent bacterial bloom that had me at the same point. Ultimately it turns out my skimmer was badly set up and letting the bacteria in...
Thanks guys. Its comming along nicely though my one great frustration in life is getting my calcium reactor stable. I wish someone had let me know...
