Update on NO3 and PO4:
NO3 is around 20ppm (Nyos) and PO4 was still .06ppm (Hanna) on last check. Side note, I can’t get the Nyos PO4 to register anything. Based on Tropic Marin’s carbon dosing schedule, I went with Bacto balance and started slow. I’m dosing .5 ml daily and have not seen any decrease in NO3. I’ll keep that dose for a couple of weeks with periodic checks to see where we’re at.
Finally got the skimmer broken in and it’s working well. It was continually overflowing like 3 weeks but once I put fish in the system it settled down.
