jgpico Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I was at my lfs the other day and they were having a sale on some of there brightwell aquatics products. Nano code A and B was one of these products so i decided to pick up a bottle of each. The owner of the lfs said he swears by it and loves it. My question is this, is anyone using this in a 3 gallon tank? I know i would have to cut the reccomended dose down but does anyone know the right amount to dose of each? Any help with this would be great. Thanks Link to comment
reef2.5 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 i dose my 1.5 gallon with the same stuff for about 6 months and have seen a way faster growth rate in coral tons of purple coraline I dose almost 1 cc 2 or 3 times a week. Link to comment
jgpico Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 So 2 cc's should do it? When do you dose your tank? when you top off? When you do a water change? Link to comment
StevieT Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 USe a test kit to tell you how much of each and how often to dose Link to comment
Daleo Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 USe a test kit to tell you how much of each and how often to dose +1 I dosed equal parts A and B for a long time without testing. When I tested my calcium was 540ppm and my alk was 10... I should have stopped dosing the calcium half but I didn't know, because I didn't test. However, these products are great when used correctly.

jgpico Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 I am definitely planning on testing before dosing but is it best to dose during a water change or can i just dose at any time? Sorry probably a stupid question but i have never dosed anything before and i want to do it right the first time. Also what calcium test is everyone using and happy with? I just started using the API master reef test kit and i dont know if im just challenged but the calcium test seemed harder than it should have been. Link to comment
Daleo Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I dose once a week, because that is the regiment my tank requires. I would dose after a water change. It doesn't matter if you do it during a water change, right after, or later that night, or even the next day! Link to comment
jgpico Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Ok sounds good. Anyone have any other advice? Link to comment
