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.

still maintaining Ultra BIO 1 drop every day.
Ultra BAK Mike im empty here i have about 2 days left. 5 ml per day.
Ultra clam food feeding every second day.

Well i can't keep it any longer the color are amazing in the tri color they are alot bright er and lighter to look at . alot of the frags are coloring up so nice i really need to sit down here to snap some pictures ,but so busy with work sorry i will make a effort to night to get some pictures on i promise.....
i'm hoping to get some top down picture up if i can figure how to get the glare out of there.......
