macsturm is on a distinguished road
thank you very much for the link, I think I will try it after I get back from Germany, right now, I am trying a diy sulfer denitrator, also using Fauna Marin Ultralife (Highly active clay minerals directly bind diverse nitrogen compunds and phosphate, which can easily be removed by protein skimming. UltraLife is not based on zeolites thus it may also act as a carrier particle for nutrients and bacteria.) And also trying vodka dosing which is also supposed to reduce nitrates and phosphates.

So far I am 3 weeks into the vodka dosing and at 1.5 ml(very slow) and everything still looks healthy

4 days into the Ultralife, and it has definitely made the tank look clearer

and 2 weeks into sulphur denitrator, but I am guessing it might take a month to populate, yes I do have it going through aragonite container after the sulphur.


I am probably doing way to much at the same time

thanks again

Mark
