    Using ESV B-Ionic Nitrate to raise Nitrates

    Hey guys, So I've been dealing with chronic low nutrients throughout my fallow period in my Red Sea Reefer 250. Phosphates are 0 and Nitrates are 0 as well. I'm giving ESV B-Ionic Nitrate a shot in order to combat the issue. The problem is that there are virtually no reviews or information...

    Nutrient crash - corals suffering

    Afternoon all, My tank is 3 years old and up until recently I have always had high nutrient issues, which I've thrown the kitchen sink at with no lasting success until recently. I apparently hit the magic recipe or my tank finally reached stability and my tank was looking really. For the first...

    Microbacter 7 with Neophos + NeoNitro

    Hi Everyone, I have been battling Dinos in my tank. I plan to increase my nutrients in my tank. I have Neophos and Neonitro. Brightwell recommends adding Microbacter7 with these products. Why do they recommend Micorbacter7 in conjunction? Can I still not add MB7 and have the same results ? Thanks

    Should I Dose Phosphates

    Hello, I am a new reef keeper, I have a red sea 250 reefer (55g display) that has been running for about 3 months now. Everything seems to be going well, but about a week ago my nitrates reached about 10ppm (API Test Kit), and a lot of brown spots (possibly diatoms) and some green spots started...

    Biopellets reduce N and P in a 16:1 ratio, can I dose N (not NO3) to reduce PO4 further and achieve a 10:1 ratio?

    This quote summarises my current understanding of nutrient reduction with biopellets: If biopellets reduce N and P in a 16:1 ratio, then it follows that by providing excessive nitrogen (not NO3), phosphate should be reduced further, while nitrate should still be at an undetectable level. Can I...
