Hello everyone I'm new to the forum but not to bleach dosing except on reef tanks. 6 month old Aqueon evolve 4 tank, 5lbs rock, 1 inch sugar size sand bed and I started this tank with dry sand and rock. Dinos started when I received an order from a reputable online retailer 2 months ago. When my nitrates went over 40-60ppm dinos disappeared phos always .03-.05. When i started carbon dosing and dropped nitrates dinos exploded within 2-3 days of them being undetectable. I've been dosing for a week and nothing changed until yesterday when I upped it to 1/2 an ml 3x a day. Barely any strings but still there. Anything else I should be doing? I'm blowing everything with a baster, removed carbon and gfo because of the bleach and only lighting tank 3-4 hours at a time.
