Good to see whether there wil be a reduce in phosphate as i do not test them. Please update the result here so that we will know whether this product can help to reduce phosphate. The turning off skimmer should be to allow the coral to absorb the coral food. For me I used the dosing according to the downloadable data, so far so good. I feel it is good to follow the instruction like dose during light on or off and turning off skimmer if need to for best result. I am following the routine and the result is quite good.

For me I turn off the skimmer for the whole night.

Yes, so far so good, will update the condition of my tank in a few weeks time.

Welcome back neighbour.

I think this is quite easy to sort out, once you know the gram of chemical to dose, example 10g of kh. Depending on your mixing, if you mix 100g of kh powder to 1000ml of DI water then you will dose 100ml every day. If the mixing ration is different then just do the math part and you will know roughly how much to dose.

Wow if this is a marine pool then it will be very impressive.

A lot of people are using dosing pump and do not know how to start. This is the link to a chemistry calculator that one can use to estimate how much to dose, i forget who is the reefer that post this before but it is quite useful to kick start the dosing. Hope this is helpful. Cheer http://reef.diesyst.com/chemcalc/chemcalc.html

Haha time to bring a cutter to your place.

Haha mike for you special just Come when u r free. Haha pass u yellow acro also, this should be true full body yellow, not the fake lime green. Lol

Haha give them some time to grow bigger, now also too lazy to frag. lol

Upps

Haha look like red milli is quite popular, i thought yellow will be harder to obtain. lol

Update

The purpose of water change is more then just reducing nutrient, it also replace the element and other stuff used up by the coral. Unless u are dosing element into the water every now and then, the element will be used up. For Lps tank, the observation is not so obvious but for sps tank it is quite obvious. Guys good to read more and not just follow reefer advice. Every reefer tank is different so what he/she do might not be suitable to your tank. One of the example is a reefer tell me he is told by another reefer, only need to change water every 6mth and the tank is doing well but why his tank is not doing well. The reefer that told him this method is keeping softies and Lps tank, while this newbie here is trying to go for full sps.

Yup polylab is the brand, can get at iwarna or reefdepot.

Wow drooling :bow:

Hmmm i think will have to ask seet from reefdepot. For me I feel for a start maybe daily dosage will be good, after you have your results then maybe can change to weekly to maintain it. After all my SPS colour up, I will try to dose weekly and see if it work.

Ups

Many pm me about the routine of dosing, mine tank is around 600l, Daily: Fuel 500ml 1.7ml when light is on(skimmer on) Genesis 50ml 4 drop when light is on (skimmer on) Acids 50ml 4 drop when light is off(skimmer off) Plus 50ml 4 drop when light is off(skimmer off) For busy reefer, can dose once a week also.

Joe_p got a sps and zoas room at iwarna, got pretty good stuff there. =)

No problem, I like to share product that I tested and work.

For bac no need to off skimmer instead it need the skimmer to skim out the bad stuff. For amino acid and coral food, best to turn off the skimmer so that the coral can absorb the good stuff.

Hi guys, Had been hearing a lot about people using chemical way to bring down nutrient by dosing a lot of thing into the tank. Personnel dun really like as I feel the method will reduce the nutrient to fast and might affect the coral. One will need to check the parameter and dose accordingly. Too much work. Next is intro to zeovit, the result is amazing as the colour of the sps is very nice. One of the amazing tank that use full zeovit and super nice is Steven tank. But the thing is need to dose quite a lot of stuff then need to have a reactor for the stone. The reactor is not cheap and also need to pump everyday and lastly reefdepot not carrying them anymore. The method I have used for a few years are liverock, skimmer, FR with Rowa and change water. Effective method but need time, result will be better as years passes. Only thing is Rowa is ex and used up fast also and my tank is pretty new less then 8 mth, being a gan chiong reefer, the colour of the sps is not always up to my expectation. Sorry for the long intro, last mth, my tank crash due to dosing pump give ways and kh drop till 3 lost half of the sps. Once I fix the dosing, forget to tune down, end up kh go up to 13. Lost another 30% and the rest most turn full brown. Big blow for me losing so many collector sps and suddenly reefing is not so great anymore. After talking a few reefer, solo77, sunny, Melvyn, mike and Honkit, decided to pick myself up. Was told about polylab, decided to give it a try. Reason is nothing to loss, all sps is brown. Got it from iwarna and get the Manuel from reefdepot site. Try the following. Fuel 500ml Genesis 50ml Acids 50ml Plus 50ml In 3 weeks, the result is shocking, colour appear on the tip of sps after 1 week and half of the body in 2 weeks and full colour in 3 weeks. Growing tip is observe and the water is super clear. But some sps is improving at a slower rate. Super happy and decided to share with the rest of the closer reefer and today share in the forum. Other then colour improvement, I have remove the Rowa FR also. Great saving as Rowa is quite ex and I can remove the fr pump which save electricity and also also remove one source of heat. But the con is have to turn off skimmer when dosing the acid and the coral food. Which I feel might reduce the lifespan of the skimmer pump. Other then that it is a good product and I recommend people to try it. All method have their pros and con and it is up to individual to decide what is best for them. I will like to thanks seet for bring in this amazing product. *I am not related to reefdepot or polylab, just sharing a product which I feel is very good.

Aquamedic pump get from hongkong is the cheapest.

FR sold, up for the skimmer.
