NoPox without skimmer? HELP

[Jeremy K.A.]

I've been fighting algae in my 55 gallon tank for a year, first with hair algae, and now Cyanobacteria "I know it's not an algae". Water changes haven't helped, GFO isn't helping. I've heard great things about Red Sea Nopox and want to give it a shot. Is it safe to use on a tank without a skimmer?

No.

what is your nitrate and phosphate.

You would induce a bacterial cloud you have no way to remove

No. As noted by @Hemmdog a skimmer is essential.

Documented on Red Seas portal:

NO3: PO4-X

Red Sea NO3: PO4-X is a unique complex of carbons that are used by nutrient reducing bacteria. Each carbon in the complex is utilized by different strains of microorganisms while ensuring the specific Carbon:Nitrogen:Phosphorus ratio required for each stage.

I have been using Phosban without issue. You might want to try that, just follow the directions on the bottle, I went from .40 to .03 in a matter of 2 weeks.
