Hello!
I am battling dinos atm, and I just started dosing phose/nitrate since they were at 0 (where the problem started I learned!) I finally have a reading of nitrate at either 1 or 3, colors are hard to tell haha, but phos still reading 0, so two questions. Do I need to dose MORE phos or keep adding it how its directed? ( I have macroalgae and chaeto in the tank) second, once I hit m 10 mark for nitrate, do I keep dosing? do I alternate days? or do I test until it drops and then dose again to bring it up? my aim is nitrate 10 - <15 and phos at around 0.10. I am also dosing microbacter7 and tims waste away alternating days while turning UV off, and my skimmer just isnt running at ALL at this time. thanks for any input!
