If you don't use Red Sea NoPox, what do you to to combat your Nitrate?

What was your Nitrate and what is your Nitrate now?

@tommyhere it's been more than a min, where are you?

 

[Tommy's Reef]

Ok sorry. Remember i said this is my hunch what happened to your acans

 

[Tommy's Reef]

Do u have your no pox management booklet

 

[Tommy's Reef]

Look on page 2. (Coral symbiotic zooxanthellae algae) its need to know information.

 

[Tommy's Reef]

Then on page 6 (no pox) secound paragraph it says this. (The first paragraph u see read)

I don't see that interpreted as do not use NoPox in 40 ppm system.

By monitored dosing of nopox guarantees. So if your are wrong about what u are monitoring then you can destroy the zoo in your coral s and cause uv shock with starvation. But this is just my hunch on what happened to your acan, if your doing fine with everything else go for it

 

[Tommy's Reef]

Maybe he got a stronger dose of it then other coral

What it says is that you need to fine control the Nitrate, as a resultant you be able to control how much you're dosing.

I don't think it meant to say don't use in High Nitrate system .. which is the whole purpose of Carbon dosing .. if you have low level of No3, don't even bother carbon dosing.
reason we carbon dose, is because of High Nitrate.

Agree?

Nah, i don't think NoPox cause it to $h1t itself .. you maybe right .. but i think not.

 

[potatocouch]

It's either flow, light (most likely not), disease, nitrate, phosphate ...

 

[Tommy's Reef]

No everything i just said has nothing to do with doseing in a high nitrate system

 

[Tommy's Reef]

I was clarifying to u what nopox does if not doseed correctly
