I using Nyos testing kit.

I don't have coral yet so never on the light for long.

Never control PO4, the level remain between 0.15 to 0.2.

Ok. No coral.

But u need to reduce yr PO4 first.

You can run a refugium but it will take a few months before you see result.

You can run ATS. You can run phos remover like what many are doing.

Or you can dose iron supplement like me. (Not many reefers doing this locally)

Yap, planning to run refugium but I heard that once biopellet kick in the chaeto will lack of nutrient and cannot survive.

Now still trying to figure how to make the biopellet more effective.

[sherman]

If you running chaeto you do not need biopellet.

Running more then one form can result in over extracting

Erm then I will have to stick with biopellet else the reactor will be wasted.

Guess will give the pellet a bit more time to see how the result.

Should be not much issue

Where can I get the parts to assemble a filter like this. I have lots of suspended particles in the DT abs can't seems to get rid of them. Tried using Ehiem pickup internal filter but it is not really effective.

Where you buy the iron powder? Does it need to use brown sugar to mix with vinegar?
