Thanks for the answers Tim I like what I'm reading.

I think I might have a pretty good idea where to does the stuff but your input would be appreciated. my drain feeds a chamber in my sump that holds maybe 3-4 gallons of water. This chamber then overflows into a dual filter sock tray. water stays in the tray and then falls through the socks into a second chamer which then spills over into the skimmer chamber. the socks are almost entirely submerged.

I'm thinking if I drip the foz down into the drain chamber it has lots of time to react and then either settle in there (no big deal) or land in the socks.

I have a spare channel on my doser... what sort of amounts are we looking at dosing for optimal performance. and how many times per day?

It would be ideal if I could tell you my phosphate levels but I rarely ever measure I just sort of change gfo based on algae film on my glass...

That is a perfect place to add it. Try to add it into where the water flows in.

This will all depend on how much food you put into the tank and your fish load. You will probably have to "dial it in" a bit. Without knowing your bioload I would start off with diluting the Foz Down by 75%(add a 240ml bottle to 750ml of ro water) and then adding 1 ml four times per day. If you notice algae growth(based on your prior experience with GFO) you could increase it. My recommendation would be to use a testkit or a Hanna meter and dose based on the readings. Eventually you will know how much phosphate your tank produces and you can dose accordingly.

Cheers,
Tim
