Nitrate and phosphate

[Respect the Reef]

hey guys, so I ran into a dyno problem a little back, realized my nitrates and phosphates were zero, so I started dosing neo phos and nitro at the recommended doses, started dosing 10/21 and dosed a couple times after, today readings showed 0.03 phosphate and 0 nitrate still, how can I get the nitrate up?

My understanding is that Dino’s may be consuming the neonitro within a few hours of it being added to your tank. You most likely will have to dose above the recommended amount so it isn’t all being consumed and you see increasing amounts of nitrate. I don’t have much experience in how much to increase, ( 2x, 3x,etc). So will leave that to someone my knowledgeable to advise.

Add more nitrate.
