So I've been dealing with dinos for the last week now. I've been testing my po4 and no3 daily. No3 is at a constant 10 for the last week. My phosphate level has gotten as low as .01 (today's reading). That was after feeding aminos to the tank and food earlier in the day.
How quickly will a 13.5g system use the nutrients in the tank? Obviously I understand this is an impossible question to answer exactly, but would be interested to know how quickly a tank can use up nutrients.
I dosed some neophos tonight after that low reading. Should I be dosing this daily at this point? If feeding isn't bringing up my po4 I have to dose right?
What should be my ideal rang? Neophos says not to bring above .04? Is there a reason for that being listed on the bottle? Po4 higher than that is completely fine so I dont understand that either.
