After 2 weeks of dosing PO4 

5.5 footer  PO4 now is 98 ppb or or 0.3 ppm. (Dosing Iron supplement to control PO4)

Can either increase iron dosing or reduce PO4 dosing to drop PO4 level to 0.1

 

2.5 footer PO4 is 200 ppb or 0.6 ppm. (This  tank has no skimmer and PO4 is control by PO4 minus in bag

Need to increase phos minus change frequency from 14 days to 7 days and monitor till PO4 level drop to 0.1 ppm

Last nite did a PO4 and NO3 check.
For the 2.5 footer 

PO4 has drop to 0.3 after I stop dosing PO4 and 
change phos minus more frequently
but NO3 is still zero.
I think need to increase KNO3 dosage

For the 5.5 footer 

PO4 has drop to 0.1 after I stop dosing PO4 and 
change phos minus more frequently
but NO3 is only 1 ppm.
I think need to increase KNO3 dosage

Between PO4 at 0.3 ppm and 0.1 ppm I notice the valida grow and color more intense.

I not sure there is any relationship in PO4 and valida growth.

Better growth when po4 is at 0.3 or 0.1?

Hi bro,

I only notice when PO4 is higher then 0.1 Valida seem to grow better.

Need more observation to determine the PO4 level

Hi, would like to check with you what you mean when you mentioned you stopped dosing PO4 & PO4 dropped???

Thanks

[sherman]

When PO4 drop to zero I dose PO4 to increase it.
When PO4 more then 0.1 I stop dosing PO4.
Overtime PO4 will be consume at it level will drop to lower then 0.1

Correct me ...thought po4 should be as 0 as possible ?

[sherman]

PO4 or NO3 try not to be zero. Unless you are running ULNS.

Any idea why your frag die ? Could it be your nutrient is too low ?

Time to increase your feeding . Haha
