I have a 40g system. No3 around 12, using Nyos kit. Po4 usually around .12, using Hanna ULR. I began dosing nopox on 12-6 at .5 ml / daily. Increased to 1ml on 12-14. Increased to 3ml on 12-27. Increased to 4.5ml on 01-06. Increased to 5ml on 01-13, which is where I remain. I'm doing roughly 20% wc every 2 weeks, so I believe it has had some effect in not letting N rise much. I use about 4 Tbsp of gfo mixed with carbon, and change every 2 weeks so that's what is keeping my P stable. I guess my question is should I continue to increase nopox dosage until I see a decline in N or should I stay where I am and continue to monitor? I would like to get N around 5 and lower to a maintenance dose BEFORE I go on a 2 week trip in about 3 weeks. I will have my neighbor sitting the tank but I'm starting to worry this may become an issue if I still haven't reached that benchmark and it happens while I'm out of town. (I feel like more than 5 mls on a 40g system seems high as I've read every single thread i could find about nopox dosing!)
