I just got some of the V3, do you have a link to a cheat sheet on how much you dose and how you do it? I see videos of you target feeding, do you do that every time or just to video? I know it is in this thread somewhere, just trying to save some time. Thanks!

Just mix the paste so that it is fully dissolved, then you can broadcast or spot feed. It is up to you

How do your corals look? Your tank and corals looked great back in March. What changed since February when your no3 was 5?

Something big may have happened.

I thought it was a stylophora.
My V3 came but I haven’t used it yet! I’m so excited to try it!

Been using a stir only plate for last few months and decided to upgrade to add heat. Anyone else using something like this?

I have used mine since last month to make two trial batches. The temperature gauge only displays in Celsius otherwise it works great!

What temp are y'all keeping them at while mixing/stirring? Also are you aerating while stirring or is it one or the other? I've been doing some small "short-term" batches that I dump in the same day. I'm looking to improve my results and make some that I can refrigerate for and dose over 3-5 days.

So far, I am keeping it at around 90F and IMO I can control how much "air" gets injected by adjusting the stirrer speed. If you get it so the vortex gets within about an inch of the stir bar, you get the occasional gurgle.

Sounds like you are trying to replicate V1 or V2 of my concoction. Just a heads up, the DIY Version is not very shelf stable. You don't need to make an overabundance as this may expose you to more possibility of contamination if you are not taking the proper protocols. Ideally, I would finish my batch in 3 days.
These limitations are why I developed V3, it is my own shelf stable recipe which allows me more flexibility.
