Set a reasonable target say 5ppm. Continue to dose the amount and check nitrate every two days.
In a week, if no change, increase by 0.5ml, test.......at one point.....you will notice a reduction in nitrate.
At this point, do not increase, but keep up the daily dose.
Carbon dose helps to manage nitrates, just small changes, up or down and over weeks.
Once you have your nitrates to where you want them, back off 0.5ml and keep watch.
We want to stabilize the nitrate.
