Hi all:)

I have a Red Sea Reefer 250 and have for about a year steady nitrates around 5 with dosing 5 ml of Nopox every day.

I will upgrade soon to a Reefer 350. But I don't know what to do with my dosage now. Stop dosing? Reduce? Keep the same?

I also run a marine pure block and add Reef energy a and b.

What's the best way to continue with nopox now?

Best way IMO is to test frequently and adjust based off your testing. After my recent upgrade I had to cut back my carbon dosing, I am continuing to test and adjust my feeding until things have been stable in the new tank for some time. I am also seeing change in Ca / Alk uptake, so I am testing alk every day, and testing phosphate, nitrate, and ca twice a week right now. Eventually I will be testing all of them once a week, or every other week, but that is probably only after months of stability.
