Patience..
Dose can be spread out and still be effective..
Carbon dosing can be used with UV as most bacteria lives on the surface and is not free floating to be killed by flowing through the UV.

Dose recommended amount for 2 weeks.. If no noticeable drop increase it 10% for another week or 2.. Increase again if no drop.. Increase up till you notice bacterial snot (clear boogers on rocks/glass,etc...) then back down some and maintain that..
