so the min S at 1 ml per day then or should I put that over every 2 days

Hmmm, I could have borrowed those extra drops.

Doug, go and steal his tank water quick its a live wire right now

As for Min-S dosing if you are adding it with the clam food then leave the direct min-s dosing to 1ml a day

if not increase to 2ml a day.

hey there mike sorry for the long wait I was out and back now and will snap some pictures will get them on here for ya. What about the Bak my nitrates still haven't dropped.

I'm im still running the bak at 4ml per day im getting low on the bak too from 4 ml per day. tyhe nitrates are still 5-10 PPM should i go to a maint dose.
Alk is sitting at 9.6

Drop your alk to 7.5, yes you did read me right

In regards to the nitrate your dosing depends on what your other paremters are doing and how any algea you had is dying back or not.

I would suggest increasing the Bio and bak to 5ml

Drop me a line by pm or email and we can fine tune your dosing.

I am not over worried about the Nitrate at that level, but depends if there are any negative things you are seeing in the tank that you feel maybe associated with it?

You could for one week dose the bio at 1 dop per day and increase the bak to 5ml a day. But keep check on the parameters. However after one week go back to 3 drops every 3 days and you can stay at 5ml of Bak

Are you adding any Min-S other than what is in the Clam food?

How are the corals and the Clams?
