I am wondering what I should expect my system to go through as I dose nitrate and phosphate to raise those levels?
I’ve had low nutrients from the beginning (about 3 years). That is because low nutrients was the prevailing thought when I first had SW FO tanks 20-30 yr ago. I’ve been out of the hobby for a while but held onto that belief. But as I’ve struggled with this mixed reef system (not FO), largely with cyano, and started researching the causes it seems the issue is low or imbalanced nutrients. I am prepared to deal with that but want to know what I can expect as I go through the process.
TIA!
