Microbacter7 help

[Hannahmunt]

Hello,

my nitrates have been rising consistently. All time high of 35 last week.

My tank is 160litres with live rock live sand and is roughly 9months old. I have a cuc as well

for the past month I’ve removed 4 fish, changed ro water as is had high tds done a 50% water change and change the skimmer cup daily.

I am dosing reef zelements carbon plus which is basically nopox.

today I was told to use microbacter7 daily to help.

how much should I be dosing and how long for?

What is your phosphate level? You need phosphate to lower nitrate.

It’s at 0.06. I’m using rowapos in a reactor

Hello there Hannahmunt. I don't use microbacter7, mostly, because I felt the product did not work for me but I do know others who use the product and have great success. Can you share more about your system? Age, bi-load, and more.

Sure,

The tank used to house a turtle but I converted to marine. I don’t have a sump. I use a fluval canister filter and removed the sponges and have maspex bio balls and filter floss.

These are the fish I have: 2 clowns, baby dory, two wrasse, goby, pistol goby and alage eating Blenny.

tank is around 9 months old. Set up the tank using colony and live sand and rock.

I have mostly soft and lps corals.

I only dose carbon plus
