Ok guys so far mag has come perfectly into place! Idk why or how it was reading way off for the longest time but everything looks perfect! Alk is 7, cal is 415 after adding the cal +, mag 1320. It dropped from 1350! Everything is finally getting into place! Three only thing is nitrates, still using np pro and pro bio s. But still no drop of nitrates. But i took out a rock I think i forgot to cycle and had a lot of nitrates and phosphates in it. It had to much algae on it.. and it was the only rock with so much on it. Will be changing the life bio fill and phosphate minus tomorrow for fresh. Might use less of the phosphate minus due to no phosphates bring measured even doubling the test from salifert.

For the reason that you are running the proper parameters and having your alk in line makes your corals absorb more calk and mg, which in turn balances thing out. That is about as simple of a explanation as you will get

I regards to probio S and Np pro I have the both setup on a auto doser. Aquaforest has Np pro in a 2000 ml size for auto dosing and I dilute the Pro bio s and auto dose it. I do not dose pro bio F

No, do not use Pro Bio F and NP Pro the same day, it is redundant, and could lead to cyano or other algae issues/or possible bacteria bloom. You can use in place of NP Pro once or twice per week if you have it, otherwise it is unnecessary to purchase and use. NP Pro and Pro Bio S are designed for running low nutrient system. NP Pro is made in a diluted form and is dosed at 5ml per every 100 liters. It comes in a 2.5liter container. 3 conditions to automate Pro Bio S...
1. The ambient room temp must stay and remain under 76 degrees F.
2. Your dosing system has the ability to drop dose.
3. A magnetic stirrer is in place, as Pro Bio S needs to be shaken prior to dosing.

Pacific Sun Kore 5th doser has #2 and #3 covered if purchasing their ultimate package.

How much do you dilute? You're do you know how much to dose?

Is that the only one that can accomplish it?

 

[Perry]

Either Pacific Sun or GHL from my knowledge.

Ok so pro bio s needs to be refrigerated unless house temp is under 74 degrees?

76 degrees
Pacific sun kore 5th is the doser you are looking for

Do you use that one? And even diluted it needs to be a drop doser? How much of np pro do you use when using a doser?

Nvm I missed the info on how much np pro to use

 

[domination2580]

But what's better to use? Pro bio s and np pro or pro bio f? Is it the same thing and so I only need to do one of them?

Not yet, but in the near future.
I use 1ml per day using a doser. I have a powerhead stirring the mix before dosing

You do gave a drop doser then?

 

[Lynchmob3000]

I love how he's keeping you guys on your toes!

So how do you make it work with a regular doser besides the powerhead

I use the 2000ml np pro and add 1 pro bio s to 200oml of ro/di and dose. I have a small power head set to stir the pro bi before I dose

Where did you get the formula to dilute it down? What size of pro bio s?

 

[jsker]

did the math and I use the 50ml of the pro bio s.

 

[domination2580]

Didn't know about it having math...lol.

Ok so since my parameters are stable can i start dosing 123+?
