Hi all,
so after dosing nopox at the recommended level of 12ml per day for over 6 months just to hold my nitrates at 50ppm! The nitrates only just dropped to 25 recently after i upped the dose to 16ml per day a month ago. It seams stuck at 25ppm now and im not increasing it. Ive had enough of the masses of pink bio matter growing everywhere.
just today i pulled an egg size lump out that was growing inside my skimmer!
im switching to a clear tides np200 sulphur bead and calcium reactor.
my question is should i hook up the new reactor which should take a month to start working and during the first month slowly reduce the mopox dose maybe 1ml every other day which would then become zero dose in a month.?
or reduce the dose first then when its zero start the new reactor?
or just stop it?
thanks
