Hi Randy ,
Can you offer any advice, a reefer colleague has lost a lot of his sps colonies and after doing an icp test there was nothing out of the ordinary and KH and PH are stable so I advised him to do a N-DOC test which came back showing a very high level of total nitrogen ( 17 to a set level of 0.4) and low P ) .The tank has been running for 2 years with great sps colonies. I recently had sent a N-DOC for my own tank which showed a slightly elevated N in the bar chart and advised me to dose biobase ULN which I have been doing since 9th Jan with no ill effects and my corals are showing great colouration and a noticeable water clarity , I cannot find any information as to whats in the biobase or if adding it to his tank will help balance the nutrients hence reduce the total nitrogen and that the high level of Total nitrogen would be the reason for loss of sps. thanks Bill
