Ultra Clam review thread

[Skimmerking]

i have nt stopped dosing Claude, Mike told me to increase the Ultra Bak to 2 ml for my system, i have a total of 150 complete.
and to increase the Ultra MIN s to 2 ml too. I have stopped the Clam food with the ultra MIn S mixed in

This is just claudes slight miss understanding.

Carry on as you are.

I have also learnt that if you are adding Min-S to the tank you dont have to add it to the Clam food, just mix the clam food with RO.

Why do I suggest this?

Well we have been doing some test with a very big clam importer in the states and have shown that if you are already adding Min-S to the system in drip form you dont need to add it again to the food.

So you have two choices, add the Min-S to the clam food but not again to the tank or add seperate.

once you have your nitrates down i suggest carrying on seperately.

Post on Sunday your NO3 level and PO4 level and then we go from there.

I will send you some ultra Bio also as directed by Claude

Man you are gonna have a tank that pops once all dosings have been settled!

Claude please review the whole thread and suggest a correct dosing regime, this Clam review has progressed into a full non Lith low nutrient dosing review.

ya Claude read the whole thread shame on you, and just for that you have to let me trial one of the 3 dosing pumpunit too.
So Mike what im reading is ultra Min separate 2 ml per day in the morning
the Ultra BAk. 2 ml in the morning
If I want to use the clam food mix with RO/DI Water, you were right from the start thou Mike. mixing it with WAter

Ya dreamin my friend

Yes you are right

2ml of bak
2ml of min-s

after 14 days dose clam mixed with RO

Add to the mix ultra bio being sent to you when you remind me by pm of your address

I should add some side notes to those of you that are following this thread

If you have persistant nitrate issues, Bak alone can take some time in getting on top of the issue. So adding the highly potent Ultra Bio to the mix you are adding extremely powerful denitrification bacteria to the tank daily on a controlled level.

adding bio and bak at the same time will destroy ALL bad nutrients fast, this goes for ANY tank.

Ultra bio is the bacteria and Ultra Bak is the food source.

If you just add Ultra Bak, you will in time eliminate the bad guys from the tank, but it takes time as you are boosting the already existing biological loading of your system by direct feeding. By adding Bio you are also massively increasing the amount of bacteria in the tank which then the Ultra Bak will feed.

Result a full LN system!
