so, i was reading over some of the new line red sea came out with dosing table they have on all the boxes and i am a bit confussed. i converted everything into gallons and ml because its all in liters and ect. anyway, i wanted to post the direction tables and wanted someone on here to answer the correct amount to dose in easy terms for me to make sure im dosing correctly...
for example: the one chemical is called.... NO3
O4-X (biological nitrate and phosphate reducer)
prevents nuisance algae & enables control of Zooxanthellae for optimum coral growth and coloration
ok, and this is how the chart is set up: (the ..... are for spaces in the chart)
fish/soft corals................................ optimal levels 2.5 > NO3 > 1ppm
Measured Levels (ppm).....................Dosage ml/100 l(25 gal).........Test
NO3 > 10..................................................3.....................NO3 1 x / week
10 > NO3 > 2.5..........................................2.....................NO3 1x / week
2.5 > NO3 > 1...........................................1......................NO3 1x / week
LPS l SPS corals.............................. Optimal Levels NO3 = 0.25; PO4 = 0.02
Measured Levels (ppm)
...NO3...........PO4...............................Dosage ml/100 l(25gal).........Test
NO3>10.......... - ......................................3....................NO3 1x / week
10 >NO3>1...... - ......................................2....................NO3 2x / week
1>NO3>0.25..PO4>0.04...............................2....................NO3 & PO4 2x / week
1>NO3>0.25..0.04>PO4>0.02.......................1....................NO4 & PO4 1x / week
EXAMPLE?
sooo.... say i have 50 gallons for example.
and just to use example the first row was my tank
NO3 > 10..................................................3.....................NO3 1 x / week
would i dose 6ml and test once a week?
