You can run phos if you want but run the decent stuff Ultra power phos, but then you cant run ultra Bio!
http://shop.faunamarin.de/product_in...PowerPhos.html As i said above you just cant use this with bio or bak. Using both would remove the PO4 way too quickly and cause imbalances. (remember the golden sentance with fauna products "They do what they say they do" So dose exactly as instructed. When it comes to PO4 you have two options 1. Ultra bio and Ultra Bak 2. ultra power Phos best results are achieved with the bio's as it is adding good nutrients as well as removing bad. Better results are obtained this way But i suggest trying the bio first, take the natural approach, then only if you do not wish to continue the bio you can switch back, but feel free to put the phos back on until it arrives.

There are so many different fauna products we have not even scratched the surface yet especially for removing phosphate at the same time as benefitting the system in other ways such as this product
Ultra Life! http://shop.faunamarin.de/product_in...ltra-Life.html Fauna marin has a product to suit ANY user, whether you want just plain old PO4 removal through granuler filtration or more complex but way more beneficial means as in this thread BIO and Bak, or mentioned above Ultra life mixed with Min-s you have a clam and coral food with a PO4 remover all in one. Ultra Life is very popular and Ocean Aquatics sells a lot of this product.. if you want to learn more about Fauna's massive range please check out www.faunamarin.de there is something for everyone! |

Whoa
thats series happy coral with awsome polyp extension, just wait until we get you on the power traces and those colours really pop! The bio will be with you early next week and then say goodbye to phos and nitrate for good! BUT careful as you go with dosing that baby as I said! A product is only as good as the results it gives Hard to disagree that Fauna Marin stuff works isnt it!Last edited by Aqua-Digital; 02-08-2009 at 03:46 AM. |

Ok here is the great news, the PO 4 in the tnak is ) nadda
GONE , HISTORY a DEAD SEA Scroll A PAGE IN THE HISTORY BOOKS, OH YA after what 10 days if that its reading ZERO on my SALIFERT TEST KIT at 80 F like you said MIKE. the Nitrates are still at 5PPm i'm still needs to get them down. Im dosing 2ML every day for the nitrates, ALk been sitting at 8.6 DKH Cal is around 430 PPM so this is what I was doing, I kinda got the BIo mixed up for a bit. Mike said to dose 3 drops every other day to slowly get the BIO going, after the 3rd day wasnt paying attention I was dosing .5 ml to the tank every day. then the last 3 days its been 1 ML and tonight man that stuff is strong its at 0 for PO4. so this is what im at 2 ML for ULTRA BAK every day 1 ML for ULTRA BIO 1 ml every day for the last 3 days, now the PO 4 is 0. 2ML ULTRa MIN S every day SO i take it that i can start my manitence dose for the BIO then now MIke is that correct. PEOPLE if you wan results get this stuff OMG. Im not getting any thing for this stuff and man this is amazing stuff....... PM Mike Aqua Digital and he will explain it all to you. 30 sec's is what it takes me . and im ony on the PO 4 and the Nitrate removing ones and my tank is looking sweet and feeding the clams with CLAM FOOD WITH ULTRA MIN S and the SP are going retard for this stuff I hav a person that is going to take some pictures i cant so you can see the fancy colors already... even my Kids are saying DADDY the tank is some colorful now. SO Mike I need the maintence dose i guess for the BIO

Hi Asmodeus
Your tank looks pretty good. I am down to 3 drops per week of Bio. One of the key indicators of excess bio use is "how often are you cleaning your glass" Have you tested your tank for potassium and what is the color temp and wattage of lighting on the tank? What are you seeing in terms of changes in your clams. Last edited by fencer; 02-23-2009 at 09:46 PM. |
