I've cut carbon dosing in half.

I've pulled GAC out. (I don't use GFO or any other PO4 binder so nothing there to pull out.)



I had calulated out exactly how many milligrams of the 70% active ingredients in MetroPlex I would need for around 200g total system volume. Using the little spoon I started putting some in that container. That little spoon was a pain. I went for a better measuring device and then decided to just dump the contents completely in.

So, 5g day one done.
Heh. That dose is 250mg/10 gal, a spoonful is 125mg so it's exactly the 2 spoonfuls in the "1-2 spoonfuls per 10 gal per day for 3 days"
Just clarifying for others that your "dump the whole thing in" is within the recommended dosage.
Never seen anyone else with peridinium dinos, so interesting to see how it goes with you.
Yesterday was day 1 for me and my small population of ostis as well.

In addition to tank treatment I started a control vs treatment beaker.
Really hoping that twilliards accounts of visible changes to cell behavior and structure (growth rate too) show up in the side by side beakers.
