Help me using brightwell nitro !!

[Mr Phu]

Somewhere in forum said brightwell nitro can be start at 2ppm for a day . But in direction bottle they said do not add more than 0.5 ppm a day . So any advice for me ?

Ignore the bottle claim and add at least 2 ppm for a few days. :)

Are you also monitoring phosphate?

Now my no3 is ZERO and My PO4 is 0.04 to 0.05 So fast up No3 is crash the Po4 Sir ?

 

[Mr Phu]

Yes i have Hanna and Redsead No3 and Po4 checker and check for everyday

Adding nitrate may allow phosphate to decline so just keep and eye on it.

Feeding more is an option, as is dosing phosphate. Food grade sodium phosphate is a good choice.

That my problem just worry about crashing po4 if start very fast

It should not "crash", but feeding more will offset any concern.

I think there is no harm in starting slower. You’ll probably end up dosing more but will feel less anxious.

Quick update Sir after 10 hour dosing brightwell up 0.7 ppm finnally the Hanna checker appear 0.2 no3 and po4 a little rasing to 1.5 because i heavy feeding coral . So what should i do ? Increase double dose 2 ppm for a day ?

Following along...i started dosing both neo nitrate and neo phos Saturday night... following directions, and it seems my nitrate increased more then the 0.5ppm

 

[Mr Phu]

What is phosphate?

Sir My po4 now is swing around 0.05 to 0.19 on day is that normal ? Usually 0.04 to 0.15 ( the top is after coral feeding ) I test 3 time a day

The phosphate is fine and I recommend dosing more nitrate. Nitrate not going to zero is the goal.

I’ve never dipped corals and am not the best person to ask what works.
