Hi

This is the tale we see a lot, week 4 is only one third the way through getting the system mature, what is happening which so many fall into, is the trap of rushing things. Too much too soon

What you have is a trace element overload before the system is ready, a week ago you were dosing coral Vite and Ultra Amin, too many trace elements will give the exact results you have.

OK where to go from here.

You should by now be on 50% total volume of Lith rock and dosing the Bio again. Do not dose anything other than Ultra Bio, Ultra Min-S and Ultra Bak

Keep to the dosing regime you have been doing of these 3 elements for 1 week and then email me, we will then change your dosing accordingly.

Also make sure you are doing the scheduled 10% water changes a week.
