NO3 - PO4 - X Use?

[NitroNarcer]

Hi all

I have started using Red Sea NO3-PO4-X on my tank and its making the water kind of cloudy. I wanted to know if this is normal? Does the water need to cloud up before it works? On the glass it makes sort of a thin white layer.

My tank is 100 l with a sump of about 50 l. I am dosing 2 ml everyday. Can someone please tell me if I am doing this correctly?

Thank you.

Dear NitroNarcer,

I think you are dosing to much and are getting bacterial blooms.

Cut back to 0.5ml/100l, and then gradually ramp up the quantity you dose. i.e. increase by 0.5ml every week until you get to the recommended dosage level. This should sort out your issues.

@ Albert Terego. Thank you very much. Will try it out. Hope it works. I have heard great things about this product and just want it to work for me.

Do you have a descent sized skimmer? IMO this product (any carbon dosing) only works well with a skimmer rated larger than what the tank actually is.

I am running a Reeftek TS2. Which I think is rated up to 700-800l. So it should work without a problem
