OSCAR85 - If you are around the SE suburbs I have some left over that I am not using (lath) that worked. Happy to chat and show how I used it - worked a treat.
THanks thatd be great. Ill be in touch soon, off to sydney for work this week so ill message you next week.
thanks alan for finding some filter socks for me just purchased 1.
i cant really put a filter sock over my outlet of my skimmer but i was planning on putting the solution in the sock with the inlet from the protein skimmer being directly below would this be ok or should i be DIYing my outlet on my skimmer to fit a sock?
i think the best bet is to dose into the skimmer, that way, it has the most amount of time to react, then you see a direct increase of skimmate. The sock is just to catch the excess.
Dosing into the sock means that the sock is doing all the work..
Why cant you run the outlet into a sock? Even if its only a temp thing. You really want to run the 3-5ML (in ~400ML RO Water) over 24 hours. THen leave it a few days then run again. Removing too much too fast is BAD.
ok thanks for the advise. just gotta ad a few elbows to my skimmer should work ok. playing it safe and probably start with 1-2mil in 2L ro water over a 24 hr period, see how my live stock and phos react and go from there.
You need to do the math to ensure you are not over dosing. 1L per 10000L i think it is, but check it out. It does scale down to aquarium size. 1-2 mil is a good starting point.
were do i find the ratio? I've got a approx 700-770L tank so should i be dosing 10000L/1000ml = 10, 700L/10 = 70ml. is that correct? 70ml seems a lot to dose.

MTG. i would say 7ML. i have 250 and i worked out 2.5ML i think it was...
if you want to get serious, majority of the pro tanks in america use T5, most of the ones that converted from ati power modules to leds only lasted a couple of months and have gone back.
thats a horrible review and he has had the light for two days?
