What if I want to put on a doser? Some days I don't have the time to put a few drops in....

@jsker is currently doing an experiment with that idea. He diluted the stock Pro Bio S and use his doser to add it daily.

If you run a ULNS you dont need a lot. Like I turned them on for 10 hour each day and I have half of the recommended volume of each.

I don't think that can read that high. Anyway whats the tank size, what you feed and what your filtration options? I will suggest try kits like red sea to get a better and more accurate idea.

How much you feed and how many fishes?

 

[domination2580]

I feed nice chunks every other day

 

[Anirban]

Feed less and how frequent water changes sand cleaning?

 

[domination2580]

Don't have the time to do water changes weekly. Sand is full of coral

Either you need to clean up the system with water change and sand vaccum or you need to feed less.

Isn't there a media to help worth nitrates?
