Hi

The trace elements come in on week 6 as a starter of 25% a week building up week by week to 100%, yes an overload will create algae blooms this is quite common and something Fauna try to educate many users on.

Please follow the Ultra Lith manual, not any external calculator, and also follow our advise this is the only way we can guarrantee you results.

You have not wasted money on anything as all you have will be used in time, just have patience in the gradual process UNLF must go through to have the desired results.

I will happily review your whole dosing for you and guide you step by step, but please follow exactly what I suggest to the letter.

In regards to coral foods all your system needs right now is the correct dose of Bak and Min-S and Bio, once we have got the established, after the 6 week period, then and only then we move onto the AMIN and Trace elements but slowly.

Dosing -

If i read your system correctly taking the sump and everything else into account you have after 20% displacment 758L.

if this is correct your dosing should be as follows

week 4

900ML of Lith Rock (call it 1L for argument)
8 drops a DAY of Ultra Bio
3ml a day of ultra Bak
3ml a day of Ultra Min-S

The above will be reviewed one week from now

Also please ONLY follow what is written in this manual, it is good bed time reading, well worth reading a few times.

I just have 3 posts up from your reply, but here is exactly what I wrote again

You mention Ultra MIN a few times, I am assuming you mean min-S, but if you are referrring to the product Ultra MIN (without the S) stop this dosing also.

So to clarify

Ultra BIO
Ultra BAK
Ultra MIN S

Nothing else

PLEASE do not add anything else other than what I have listed

Just saw that. Posts only come in when I refresh. Will follow your instructions to a "T".

Thanks for the specific dosages.

Hiya

Please make sure I have calculated your litres correctly this figure is based on 20% displacment. The dosing has been provided according to that figure.

If it is different then let me know asap.

The tank is 120 US gal or 454 liters, I think 30% displacement would be more accurate, bringing the total tank volume to 320 liters. The sump has another 80 liters in it, bringing the total volume to 400 liters.

Argh OK that changes everything then

You should be on 500ml of Lith by now

4 drops of bio a day
2ml of bak
2ml of Min-S

Based on 400L total volume.
