@Lou Ekus I have been dosing bacto-balance for a couple months and together with adding reef actif once weekly, my parameters have been pretty stable with PO4 ~.04-.05 & NO3 ~4-5. Right now I keep the bacto-balance in the refrigerator and dose with a syringe. I would like to quit dosing by hand and use the Neptune DOS to dose it. I would have to move the bacto-balance under the tank for that. While it's always dark down there (No Refugium) the temp runs 75f. The bottle I have will last about 9 months. Will the product stay good in this scenario? How would I know if it goes bad?
Also, if I wanted to bring my PO3 & NO4 down slightly, closer to .03 & 3 respectively, could I increase the reef actif a bit? Lower the bacto-balance? I have elim-np on hand but would be looking for a more long term solution.
