Start up dosages

[Tonyf]

OK, so I'm back with some questions.
Since I posted last time I have been dosing Amino Vitality, Energy Build on alternating nights and my Nitrates have started to rise. I didn't have nitrates for months so I'm guessing the aminos raised them? Possibly.
Anyway since they have risen I decied to grab some Pro bio s and np pro.
Tank is roughly 300l incl sump.
Should I start with 1 drop each daily? In sump or tank or does not really matter?
Also should I keep dosing ABEV? Was only dosing 1 drop of each with the occasional 2 drops of amino, and build.

Parameters as of yesterday were No3 0.5
Phos 0 on regular Hanna (have ordered the ultra low) so will test again as soon as I receive it.

Cal 405
Alk 8.4 (bit high so turned off doser to bring it down)
Mag 1280

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I personally feel that every other day is most used, most pairing Energy and Build one night, with Vitality and Amino Mix opposite nights. There is no right or wrong, use your observational skills to see the impacts of each, start 1/2 dose and then make adjustments from there

Um, thanks for the reply I was already dosing the above but was just wonder if I should stop them until the bacteria kicks in from NP Pro and Pro Bio S, and if 1 drop of each is a good starting point

Start with half of recommended dose for both. A bit of of nitrate is good and yours level is fine. You can continue dosing ABEV.

Seeing that tank is 300l and I can't dose half a drop will start with 1 drop each for a week or two and slowly progress up to 2- 3 drops?

Thanks again

Its 300l or 79 gallons so you can start dosing 1 or 2 drops.

S0 I have started the Np Pro & Pro bio S Dosing for a week. 1 drop each every morning for a week.
I have also ben dosing AV BE every other night.
What I have noticed is sand seems a bit cleaner as well as the glass.
But my Nitrates have been increasing.
Parameters ATM are:
Cal 410
Alk 7.1
Mg 1300
Phos 0
Nitrate Between 1-2
I dosed NP pro and Pro Bio at 2 drop-s this morning.
Should I continue current dosing or is there anything sticking out that I need to change?
Also I dose 1 drop Of Iron and Iodium every other day.
Haven't really noticed any changes in the corals but it's only been a week.
Thanks
