I do weekly 1.5 gallon water changes but my PO4 is 0.5 and NO3 is 0.1 I would like them lower


what are you feeding? and how often? you might have to cut back..also what kinda filtration are you running in the nano? anything to remove phosphates? i would try everything else first before going this route expecially on something so small, when overdosing is known to kill..

my question would be, in the the case of dosing some guys run gfo some dont.. what abt the use of bio pellets? do you keep running them or stop? also some guys run ozone to add o2 to the system.. some dont.. what abt the use of h202 bc that breaks down into 02 also.. would there be any adverse effects from using hydrogen peroxide?
Their is another thread on the topic of using h2o2, to fight green hair algae.
IMO everyone does it different, I stopped running bio, and gfo, when I started dosing., as far as ozone, when i ran it i had great results with the clarity of the water but still had issues, with phosphates, and nitrates.
