I've been thinking about this awhile and decided to give redsea NO3 PO4x a try.i have used bio pellets in the past on my Fowlr system and wanted to see if this would be something that would control and maintain my NO3 and P04 levels.

so here we go day one
no3 25ppm
p04 0.5
I will post up as we go! iam going to be dosing everyday manually until I set up my dose over weekend. iam taking the slow approach with a reduced recommended dosage to try to bring the bacteria along slow. the test results where before my water change about 3weeks since last water change..

just thought I mention I like bio pellets once you dial it in and it works very well for nitrates but I wanted to reduce equipment and cost so we will see how this works out! hopefully I wont destroy my system !

Nice. Any side effects from using it that you have noticed. Good or bad.

 

[deepblue68]

[deepblue68]

well my tank is over a year old now so if figure I post a picture of it first cycled and present

 

[Sponge]

Great idea. I love the idea of people posting the one year milestone. Very inspirational. Well done
I saw blues tank a couple of weeks ago. Really looked great....
Blue, you should post a couple close ups.

 

[deepblue68]

I will when I can free up some time busy at work and tank is pretty much on auto pilot except for weekly maintenance.
