Im gonna rethink my system, i currently have dino and cyano. What im currently using is Probiotic salt (not doing WC at all atm). Im doing Pro Bio S (have np-pro but i wont carbon dose since i belive it encourage cyano?). I just started components 123+.

Can someone advice me on what to do at this point? Should i start over with BioS and reef salt then move onto Pro Bio S? I also got A,B,E,V but wont dose anything until my tank is stable.

Thanks in advance.

Stop using the probiotic salt.....skim heavy.....cut your NP pro to half dose.....in short just take out every source of nutrient.....one more thing you can H2O2 it will not effect your system.

Long story short. I had cyano which i treated for 2 week with h2o2 (Not a single sign ever of dino before h2o2 dosing). While dosing h2o2 my KH skyrocketed and went up from 7.3 to 8.9 dkh. Corals started to look like crap and dino came out of nowhere.

It means you killed the problem but not the cause.

In all honesty im clueless of what the cause is. Im feeding the fishes once a day by feeder. Estimated 10-15 Forumla one pellets onto 10 fish in a ~100g system. I havent dosed aminos or anything besides balling products since july. I daily vaccum the sandbed. I've increased export by adding more siporax and wet skimming, alongside running my two mp40 at full speed on various programs.

There is litterly no nutriants going into the tank since 2.5 months back!

Question! Should I replace Zeo every 6 weeks?

Logically you should.

Is it possible just to use the salt and components?

Probiotic salt and component yes. But regular water change needed.

What if I didn't want water changes

Then you dose NP Pro for carbon source...

So the salt, components, and np pro

Do I need to use the probiotic salt? Is like 100$

Yes that will be your steady source of nutrient and bacteria.

 

[domination2580]

Yes that will be your steady source of nutrient and bacteria.

So I can't just use the reef salt...

Then you need to dose Pro bio S and NP pro

Amd it has to be dosed daily?

 

[domination2580]

So how much water does the 10kg bucket make

We need to see more AF Full Tank Shots!

What if you use reefsalt, have auto dosing for components 1+, 2+, 3+, but are not able to dose the ABEV for a week or ten days (say going on vacation and can't find a tank sitter...) is that a major issue?
