Just talked to Claude at fauna about expanding this review for you and really getting those corals to pop

We will send you

Ultra Amin
Ultra power trace 1,2,3,4
Ultra Bak

We will need to know your tank size, volume and all parameters to give you exact dosing of this.

Up for it ??????

150 gal 60x24x24
30 gal sump with 20 gal of water

ammonia 0
nitrites 0
I run a kalk Reactor
24/7 dripping 1 drip every 3 sec to maintain CAL and ALK of above.
5 gal water change every Sun INSTANT OCEAN, bringing the CAL in IO from 350 to 500 in 5 gal so basicly i add 2 tsp of REEF complete from Sea chem.

any else that you need.

take a sample of tank water, heat to 80 degrees C and then do a phosphate test with the water hot and then let cool and do again and post your PO4 reading this is important

[Skimmerking]

Well don't Beat me for this Mike but i dont test for Phosphates. I never have tested for them. I dont have any algae in the tank other then a couple of bubble algae's here and there. I run Phosban alot too. so I just nevered thought that crossed my mind to test for PO4.

[Aqua-Digital]

It is highly important to do so, you have some very ssnsitive creatures that will be prone to phos, so please test for it.

I can still get you up and running with the extended review in the meantime, but do need to know this reading for dosages of Bak

[Skimmerking]

Well im on my 3 batch of food with the Ultra clams and the ultra min S mixed feeding 2 times per day or 3 depending if Im not at work...

All is going great so far. the polyps are getting there, Im seeing a bit of Red turf algae coming back from the 120 where i had it bad... I hope when i get the other stuff that Mike is sending me to trial that the bacterica will eat away the big phosphates that i have I measured and my
PO 4 was like .01 so not to much but enough I guess ....

looking forward to trying out the new trial stuff....

[Aqua-Digital]

Cut back to feeding once a day and also stop the extra MinS in the system, the corals can take what is already mixed in with the Clam mixture.

Too much feeding can lead to a build up of nutrients, the Ultra Bak I am sending will build up your bacteria levels to burn this off.

I assume you are doing maintenance water changes
