looking to automate nutrient control in a reef.
My reef is 22 years old and is pretty much automated. Just pucked up a reefbot which has allowed me to view realtime fluctuations.
aside from thebobviouse methods of nutrient control... I am looking for ways to automate phosphate and nitrate in a reef. I already automate feeding and water changes ect. but find that we have some missing gaps with po4 and no3.
specifically po4 we can use GFO to lower phosphate but not much to raise it. also GFO is not a very scientific method of lowever it. so i dont liek using it myself. lastly No3 can be raised by the use of stump remover or other liquid dosing regiments ect. other than carbon dosing (personally use vodka) are there more accurate scientific ways to raise and lower po4 and no3? preferably using an accurate dosing pump...?
