Hi there bro,

i used it before. pretty good but must remember to becareful with dosage....i had 2 tank crashed before. first 1, i definately think is because i overdosed. 2nd time i think it is either slight overdose or because my light timer malfunctioned cause when i spoke to the person who sold it to me he was telling me when i dose that i must not use it with other products (even cheetos) and also make sure my tank light is not too strong.

sounds like a pretty dangerous product! my tank is only 34L (20+L if minus rocks sand etc) i guess i only need to dose 0.5ml and its quite easy to over dose since its in such small amount.. still thinking of buying it to control my nitrate..

Just saw your pm! sorry for not replying.. the small red icon simply couldn't catch my eye... still doing research and still deciding if should start relying on carbon dosing.. read alot mixed reviews.. and all on extreme side.. either mentioning they kill all their corals and fishes because it striped the tank clean of nutrients (apprantly need to dose Red Sea Reef Energy A & B to replenish back but that fella didnt) or it was very effective in controlling no3 and po4.. also read that it can drop quite a lot of no3 within a day and that stressed the corals..

have read alot of horror story whereby accidental overdosing literally killed all the corals.. though fishes are ok.. don't think i will risk it.

I guess this over dose might be the case for me. Since i started dosing this product my mostly zoas starts to shrink. I noticed the product is very effective for PO4 but the nitrate NO3 is still high in my tank.

My tank setting:
Size : 48" x 24" x 24"
Return pump: 1 x Vectra S2, 1 x Eheim 1264
Skimmer: Skimz DC skimmer SV203
Lighting : Maxspect Razor R420R 160W
Chiller : 1hp drop coil compressor
Wave maker : 2 x Nero 5 , 1 x Tunze 6055

Top up : Tunze Osmolator Universal 3155

I have been using this product. You got to be careful as its clashes with reactors, the first issue you will see the crazy amount of debris. I dosing 15ml of it daily. It's did help but later upgrade to ATM.

Do you smell what my tank is cooking..

had been using this product for 6 months and so far, did not have anymore algae problems or any issues with my corals. Although nitrate levels did not go down as much... But i feel that it should not be used as a long term solution... any inputs on this?
