Hey buddy, hope the tank is going well. Can you tell us what your current filtration is? Are you not running chaeto anymore? If not what are you running in its absence? And lastly, which salt are you using? Thanks.
Currently using a mix of IO and RC. I add muriatic acid to kill the alk a bit.
Filtration is just my skimmer. I do have some live rock in the sump but haven't added any more. I did start Prodibio a few months ago and since loosing my chaeto I have been carbon dosing in tandem to compensate. Using the same mix I was in my previous tank 1:8 vodka:vinegar. I'm only on week 3 of carbon dosing and I'm taking it slow. I realize this now but my chaeto was tying up a ton of nutrients. I checked yesterday and phosphate is 3ppb and NO3 was 5. I did notice some paleing coming on so I'm going back to adding supplements again. I also run about a cup of HC GFO changes every 3-4 weeks.
Whenever my nutrients creep up I stop the supplements and only feed my homemade seafood blend as it seems to be pretty clean. As needed I add more to it (mysis, bloodworms, reefroids, etc)
Last night I started adding Pohls again and I usually alternate with acro power and NaNO3 as needed.
I have no set recipe its kind of adjust here and there as I see fit.
When things humming along I add reefroids to my fish food.
When nitrates plummet I use NaNO3
When corals pale I call on the Pohls
When I want a little nitrate or a small adjustment I like acropower
Sounds complicated but it isn't. Bet similar to Zeo in the sense that the tank tells you what it needs and what it doesn't.
