If one adds an unnatural organic carbon source, carbohydrates, to a reef tank , before doing so one should know how much is too much. If you can not answer the question, please reconsider using it.
So how much is too much in your Opinion?
As far as I know, the only accurate way to assess how much carbon is in the system is to do a Triton N-DOC analysis. What carbon source do you prefer, and how do you determine where your valves are at?
Can you provide a picture of your system so I can observe what a balanced carbon dosed system should look like.?
I think that Glenn’s system’s are a good representation of what that would be.
