using az-no3 to rid tank of nitrates

already dosed first 2 days. was expecting skimmer to go nuts but nothing yet. i am going to go ahead and do my weekly water change for today and then dose the az-no3 for the third day. i don't know if any of you have any experience with this stuff but the doses double every day up to a certain point then the same amount until nitrates are undetectable. then you start to decrease the doses until nitrates start showing up again.
i may have to get some bacteria in a bottle to help start the bacteria bloom that needs to be skimmed out. if any body has used az-no3 before, how many days did it take before skimmer started going nuts? did you pour the stuff in your sump or dose directly in display tank?
thanks,

i actually have used this stuff and i can say that it does work. i followed the instructions up to the 8th day? i think.
but the downside is once you stop dosing, nitrates start being detected again so i stopped using it.
why pay for something when i can control my nitrates with controlled feeding and frequent water changes.

my skimmer never acted nuts with this stuff. but skimmate was better when i was dosing microbacter7 and reef bio fuel.

 

so, should i get some microbacter7? or will az-no3 work by itself?
did you dose it in the display tank or in your sump?

 

dosed it directly in the display tank. az no3 will work by itself

 

i'll try dosing it in the display then. hopefully it will work for me too 8)
