Wow impressive! Really reduced your nitrates! Good job

How to continue from here? Must sustain the dosage right? Otherwise nitrates will start climbing back up again?

My plan would be to run reactor after that to keep it down

yup. after everything u will need a replacement for the bacteria. =)

Oh I see, well I'm not sure how the theory behind carbon dosing works, but I think now you have thru your dosing cultured a huge bac population, which will need to be fed. So if the dosing stops, that excess carbon(food for them) is gone, so technically do they die off? Not sure if that then causes a spike in the levels which might lead to algae bloom? Not sure at all, hopefully some experts can chime in
