MB7 and carbon dosing

[Chrisq0904]

I'm currently dosing 30ml of vinegar daily in my 75g and recently read up on MB7. I see quite a few people use it on ULNS to keep maintain a healthy population of beneficial bacteria. I was wondering if anyone here uses this product with positive results and do I need to stop carbon dosing during the "seeding period" of the bacteria when I start using MB7?

I'm using it. One drop daily in my 30. Not sure how much it helps but my acros are nicely colored.

Were you able to get it locally or did you have to buy it online? Also, did you start using it before or after carbon dosing?

Don't remember if I got it locally. I thought I got is at AllFish. I started it a few months into carbon dosing. I started because of another reefer with a great tank was using it.

Did you follow the procedures on the bottle or did you only do one drop a day from the beginning?

Why are you carbon dosing??

Why are you carbon dosing??

I couldn't keep my phosphates low enough (below .04). I even ran gfo.

According to the bottle, the maintenance dose for my size tank is around that much. I always err on the side of less. I kind of settled on that amount.
