Hey all, I am trying to elevate my nutrients to a consistent level before beginning to add my corals, and am having trouble doing so! Im running a bare bottom w/ sump (approx. 130-140 gal total system volume). I have 9 fish, 8 emerald crabs, and 2 cleaner shrimp so far. I feed 3 times a day, flake, and frozen mysis every other day...every time I feed, plenty of food makes it to the bottom of the tank. Im running a RSK150 (very dry skim) and a kessil h380 on my chaeto (4hrs night). Chaeto is slowly growing, very slowly...and the fuge is also beginning to grow some brown/green hair algae. I've tried to "over feed" with no elevated nutrient readings, just bacteria blooms that take a day or so to die down. I got Brightwell neonitro and neophos today, but am a little intimidated by beginning to dose and how much. Does anyone have any experience with these products or other ways to raise nutrient levels safely?? Thanks all for any advice!
