Drops of MB7?? Going extra slow/cautious, are you?

And yeah, when does that sale happen? I am nearly out of some of my API test kits...

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

Not going slow with the MB7. My drops are per day
I'm past the 'new tank' dosing regime and going with the maintenance dose. 2 drops/day for my 100g system.

J&L sale is August 8-9th

Or you could do a capful (about 5 ml) every 3 or 4 days. Even a couple capfuls once a week would be OK.

I would use half of what they recommend here, though. Note that their drops per day is per gallon of water.

Stable, Low-nutrient Systems: To maintain a low concentration of available nutrients in all marine and freshwater aquaria, 5 ml (1 capful) of MicrōBacter7 per 50 US-gallons (189.3 L) [≈2 drops per gallon (3.8 L)] of aquarium water no more than once each week.

Repaired my plumbing for the 4th time and fed my fish 5 times, a mixture of frozen & spiralling flakes soaked in garlic solution.

Thanks Walter. I may switch to once/week.

BTW, their daily is per 50g so 2 drops is correct for my 100g system.
I think I'll go with a half dose so 5ml/week

Fed my fish , then pried my neon goby out of my mini carpet after he chased a piece of food square into the middle of it . I hate this hobby sometimes .
