I want to get started dosing some tried and true, proven, successful additives for both color and growth. I have looked into zeo quite a bit, and it seems to be very successful when done right, but it also looks like a lot of work. I'm running an ULNS with non detectable nitrates and phosphates. I know getting these levels up would help but I just cant get them above 0 (salifert test kits). What are you using as additives to help with color/ feeding?
 
I would start by raising the phosphates and nitrates a little.
 
Man I have tried and tried, feeding extra, going longer without water changes, dosing potassium nitrate was the only thing that helped a little but I would like to be able to maintain without having to dose that stuff.
