There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Naturally, Amazon shipping was quick. I read the rest of the reviews, some good, some bad, and decided to give it a go. First off, be sure to read the entire instruction packet. It might seem silly, but there are different dosing regimens for different things you want to do to your tank, so read 'em. When I opened the bottle, I was assaulted by the heady aroma of vinegar and....SOMETHING. Something alcoholic, I think. Yep, you guessed correctly....this stuff is basically a "proprietary blend" of carbon sources. In other words, this is carbon-dosing for idjits.
I have no problem with this.
I have been afraid of carbon dosing because it seems too fiddly. This product dumbs it down for the rest of us and makes it a relatively easy task. The only thing you need to know about carbon dosing, though, is that once you start, you need to make sure it's done daily. If you decide to stop you need to wean the tank off of it. It's going to promote extra bacterial growth, which will in turn metabolize phosphates and nitrates and bring those terrifying numbers back into an acceptable range. The product claims that this will also promote clarity of the water and greater polyp extension.
Well, it's been a few weeks since I started, and I can definitely see a lot of improvement. Dunno if it's the GFO, the UV filter, the massive water change, the Red Sea Reducer, or (most likely) a combination off all of the above. But I DO see much clearer water and coral polyp extension has been great, so I'm gonna go ahead and call that a win for this particular product. My phosphates have dropped from 0.18 on a Hanna checker down to 0.02, and my tank is back to happy again. I'd recommend this product, but I want people to be aware that this IS a carbon dosing source, and those instructions have to be fully read and understood before you start.
The bloom put a film on the bottom and it looked like a flowing "fog" moving with the currents of the tank. By the next day the fog was gone -- and the tank had dropped in Nitrate. My big concern was maybe the bacteria overtook my Ammonia consuming bacteria, but my ammonia levels are still great and the jellyfish seem as happy as can be; more active than before. It also put a dent in the growth of some red algae.
I had to rub off the film and pull out some water with the film in it, but that was about it. I wish my Nitrates dropped to zero, but I'm just glad they came down.
Be sure to have your oxygen pumping when dosing, as it seems to use up a lot of the oxygen in your water, causing PH to drop. By pumping oxygen at a higher rate you can counteract the effect and help it do its thing.
