Yep he has two one for lower ph and one for higher. Let me find it for you

I was the same way but this is what I’m using Calcium chloride. I know it’s not food grade but this has been working for me

Here’s what I’m using for Calcium if your interested. 2 cups of Prestone Driveway heat purchased from Lowe’s to a gallon of water. This is from Randy’s 2 part. Been doing for a year

So I’m kicking the idea around about buying something else for my Apex. I am torn between the Trident or a Dos. I’m sure I will eventually have both but what should I get first? Also my Neptune is only running a 40 gallon right now my thought is eventually I am going to convert my120 but is a...

You won’t be disappointed I love my Apex although I only have the El with a bunch of modules. Didn’t really need the salinity probe or orp probe. Saved me a few bucks to spend on other stuff. If you can’t find here, try R2R. I see them on there for a decent price. Another option is buy new and...

Copy that. Thanks. Woohoo funny I’m saying this but I now have 5 ppm nitrates in my tank. Been a while since I had that so hoping this will show me some benefits. I will test tomorrow and see what my tank is consuming in a day

I feel like a damn chemist. My wife saw me making my solution and said all I need is a lab coat. What do you use to calculate phosphate dosing?

Guess this is the same pretty cheap or Should I go with the food grade one which is a little more expensive?

Amzazon? May have to pick up just in case I need since my phosphates already low. I had to revamp my nitrate dosing to more. My curremt solution that I dosed last night did nothing. I ended increasing to dose 45 ml potassium nitrate everyday. According to calculator if I use 5 tablespoons of...

I’ve heard a few rumors, one was he was offered another job but that was never confirmed. Like MadReefer stated I also heard he may be back in April. They lose him that section is doomed

How long does it take to see nitrates show up in your system with that dosing schedule. Also instead of me dosing 13 ml twice a day I can get away with just dosing 26 ml every day at once without doing any harm? My System is only 50 gallons total

Yeah that calculator is saved on my home screen I ended up going with Randy Holmes Farley’s recipe since my system is smaller and I wanted a good starting point, but that calculator is perfect. I have ALOT of faith in his recipes. Been using his 2 part.

Cue Jefferson’s song. Movin on up

Shi! I’ll bet they were. What is your solution recipe using sodium nitrate. I am mixing 2 tablespoons of stump remover to 8.5 cups of water. I tested the solution and got a reading of 10ppm. Would yours ratio be similar to what I’m doing?

300ppm Dear god!!! Funny is I have done everything in my power to keep nitrates near zero now there stuck at zero no matter how much I feed I think my big ball of Chaeto also has something to do with that. I realize nitrates are all not that bad but with more nitrates comes algae problems I guess

Sure thing. Keep me posted how your dosing goes. I am dosing, now don’t laugh, Spectracide stump remover. I read this was being done years ago with success so fingers crossed. lol

I just started to dose potassium nitrate tonight. My nitrates have been at 0 so I figured I would try dosing 25 ml a day of a potassium nitrate solution. Hopefully I don’t hurt anything. My phosphates have been pretty steady at .02 I’m hoping the nitrate dosing doesn’t affect that

What’s odd is I have utter chaos,Oompa Loompas, and Mohawk zoas all doing great but my rastas are small and not growing very fast like my others

Can it be due to no nitrates ?

Those are pretty nice
