Dear Claude, I have recently bought the above products from you to try and solve a long term algae problem I have been having. My tank has always tested zero for Phosphates and Nitrates (using Red Sea Pro test kits and Hanna Checkers) but I still had algae. Even when I left the tank fallow for 2 months it did not go away. The rocks are covered in a brown sludge so I guess my problem has to do with detritus accumulation, that is feeding the algae. I have been dosing carbon (nopox) since the beginning of the tank but stopped a couple of weeks ago.
I am using Bakto Therapie to break down the detritus and reduce nutrients in my tank. Have done the initial two dosages of 10ml per 100 L and already I believe the algae seems weaker (I have also cut down my light schedule).
I have the following questions:
1- in this situation should I use Bakto Therapie alone or combine with Bakto Blend?
2- how many weeks should I dose the 5ml/100L dosage before moving to the long term 3ml/100L?
3- finally, do you believe this approach is correct?
Thank you very much for your input.
Kind regards.
Vasco.
