Sorry I don't have a solution, but I'll tag along.... |
Like all forms of carbon dosing Your pellets remove more nitrates than phosphates so running either more amounts of gfo at a time or less amounts more often would be better than raising your nitrates. You can also remove some pellets if you think it's really low. I believe it's about 16:1 for the ratio . Again over feed will add more po4 than nitrates.
I'm currently removing the biopellets and replacing with vinegar more control and all around healthier than ethanol or sugars
