PNS Pro Bio

[Craigh]

What would be the appropriate dosing in an 100 gallon established system using PNS Pro Bio. I’m seeing some hair algae and cyano bacteria. My parameters are stable and good, for most part. I’m not sure where my trace elements are, I’ll be doing a ICP analysis after water change tomorrow. Currently dosing Coral Snow mixed with CyanoClean (daily), ZeoBak and BioMate ( both twice weekly). All helpful comments appreciated.

Mag. 1255 ppm
Nitrate. 1.5 ppm. High Range
2.1 ppm. Low Range

Playing Devil’s advocate here: your Phosphate is likely not 0.9 ppm.

I am having a similar issue and trying to figure out what’s happening. I have been dosing Coral Snow Plus and noticed that my system is not showing a decline in phosphate levels despite having GFO in the sump and dosing some lanthanum chloride. I think it’s testing error so I’ve dialed back any chemical interventions. Somehow the bound phosphate is reacting and it looks like it’s not being bound/cleared.

I dose 50ml once a week in my 65g DT. It's a great product.
