Could you tell me a little bit more about the Aquaforest products your using. I see your dosing the pro bio s. How are you doing that? [emoji57]

My list
Reef Salt water change twice a month
1+2+3+ balling method of dosing with three heads of a jabao dosing pump
Np pro auto dose with one head of a jabao dosing pump
Pro Bio S auto dose experiment with one head of jabao dosing pump
Phosphate minus in the flow tray of my sump

''Pro Bio S auto dose experiment with one head of jabao dosing pump'' - you have about 280l and there is need to dose max 3 drops/day ... you dilute Pro Bio S ?

Yes, I diluted 50ml if Pro bio s in 2000 ml of RO/DI and dose 7 ml a day for 306 milers along with the NP Pro

It's an ideea but ProBioS need to be shaked before use. After you dilute the solution there is not decanted?

Hence my experiment. Here is the decanted/dosing container with the diluted pro bio S. Saw a slight film on top of the Pro Bio S and stirred it;) Could be that I would need a micro powerhead to stir it once a day.

Ca 450 back down the dose to 39 ml 2 x daily
Mg 1260 add Mg to bring it up to 1350
Alk 8.63 adjusted the dose down to 25 ml 2 x daily
No3 4
Po4 .04
I think I am going to adjust the batch of 1+ with more Mg and adjusting down the 1+ so that I come in at 420 Ca

 

[jsker]

By the numbers
Ca 450
Mg 1320
Alk 8.62
Po'4- .04
No'3 -4

Just thought others would like to know. [emoji56]

Cleaning out the sump, skimmer, and 10 water change.
@john.m.cole3 @120reefkeeper question, is the higher up the skimmer is in the sump, will the skimmer work more efficient?

I think your best bet for skimmer height is to follow the manufacturers directions. Most if not all have a procedure for height. [emoji6]
