You can increase the dose.@Miami Reef, I come to 2nd week with increase the vine Dose to 5ml. I just test my water and see the No3 is still at 25mg/l. Somehow I see is stable, should I continue to the third week of the number keep stable, but still high at 25?
I started this 1 week ago to try and eliminate cyano and now I have Dino’s appearing on the rocks and sand with no real change in cyano. Week 2 starts tomorrow.
Hanna checkers currently
Nitrates 5.6
Phos 0.06
I'm going to stop. The only reason I started was to try and diversify and multiply my bacteria population in hopes of getting rid of the cyano. I am currently dosing Prodibio Bio Clean every 2 weeks, however the cyano is not going away, and yet nitrates and phosphates are in acceptable ranges. Any suggestions to combat this?I would not carbon dose with those nutrient levels.
Do you have a heavy bioload? A tank picture would help.
My tank is fowlr. 3 years old. I plan to get the parameters right before adding coral. Now equipment for corals are ready but afraid to add because of high no3 & po4. I have 5 clowns. 1 blue tang. 1 lawnmower blenny and 1 sand goby. Should i remove some fish? Maybe 3 clowns. Only keep 2Do you have a heavy bioload? A tank picture would help.
If I see a bacteria bloom - I would not dose more DOC - rather lesser.I notice theres a little bit of bacteria bloom on liverock

Manual removal, higher flow, reduced organics, and if nothing else works, an antibiotic treatment.I'm going to stop.

The blue tang helps the most clearing all hair algae. Now not a single algae on rocks. Blue tang and lawnmower blenny clean all of it. Cyano on sand bed now all cleared by white sand goby. They helped the most. I rather remove all clownfish than these 3and the blue tang
I measure with sera test kit. It was 200 2 week ago. Now its 300Calcium was really 200 and 300 ppm? How are you measuring it? If accurate, those are much too low and need to be corrected with calcium chloride.

Yeah that make me confused. I use Tropic Marine salt. Good idea to make a test of new salt water to see how the test kit is accurateUnless you added a lot of calcium without alk, that rise is unlikely to be accurate.
My suggestion is to get a different brand test kit before doing anything with the tank calcium levels.
You could use that kit on some new salt water to gauge it's accuracy a bit.
Might stop over at the disease forum. Removing and treating the fish will not solve the problem if there are other fish in the tank. You’d need to leave the tank fishless and fallow for an extended period or the ich will persist.Update!
After 2 weeks dosing vinegar, and make 15% water changes weekly. My NO3 is now 10mg/L. I though it is okay and I will maintain this number As I can see my corals are good?
Beside that, I have spotted another issue to deal with: my regal tang got dots in her body, it seems ich. I tried to catch her out of the tank for QT& copper treatement but it quite hard, she’s fast(
My new parameters below (Ca is now go up slowly after I increase my AFR dose a bit.
