1. 10ppm of Nitrates is not high at all and likely needs no intervention

2. For carbon dosing, knowing the *exact* volume isn't necessary... Just get an estimate, initially dose about 1/2 of what's recommended on the bottle, and adjust upward as needed.

@Miami Reef is a good resource for carbon dosing.
No I didn’t explain properly, on the nopox instructions it says 2ml per 100ltr for tanks no3 under 10ppm and 3ml for over so I add now 15ml as per 525ltr
Hope that’s clearer

Again, I can't really comment as I would not be trying to reduce nitrates if they were only at 10ppm.
 
Amazing!
I’ve dosed nopox Friday , Saturday and 2 hours ago so 3 doses of 12ml,12ml and 15ml

Nitrates prior to dosing 75ppm and po4 .47

Just ran a test and got 50ppm no3 and 0.15 po4

Now, I was vinegar dosing for a week prior to nopox but had no change in Params hense going the nopox route

Anyone else had such rapid results like that?
