dosing NoPo-X and chaeto?

[reefbroao]

Im starting to think NoPo-x is the best thing on earth, but will I even need chaeto? After moving my phos went to .25 and now 2 weeks later its at .015 My levels are low, almost at 0 so am I just wasting sump space with my chaeto? I am dosing 8ML of NoPo-X daily.

You can leave the chaeto as it will die off when you are at the point where your nutrients can't support it. But on the other hand you don't want them to be absolute zero. So you can remove it or wait. My nitrates and phosphates are now zero or undetectable with the test kits since doing a 10 day round of NoPox but my Chaeto is still growing, so for now I am going to leave it.

That's good to hear. my phos steadily drops just tested around 0.008, but nitrate is still around 7? I think this may be a test kit problem. I'm using Nyos and I've had the same reading for weeks
