Ok. So I have a 125 gallon aquarium. I am currently having dino's. I believe this reason to be because my nitrates are zero. My phosphates are ok, they sit around .02. I bought brightwells Neonitro to dose, it says to do so WITH microbacter7. I'm on board so far. It says to re-test in 24 hours. And if nitrate and phosphate levels remain unchanged the the system is likely carbon- limited and to retest. This is the part that loses me. I thought carbon consumes nitrates which is why people carbon dose when their nitrates are too high.
