brightwell carbon dosing

[anthony27]

So back on the topic brightwell products.


I am dosing vodk right now but I was wondering around the lfs like most of us do and stopped at the brightwell selection. I found out that they make a carbon dosing product that I was very intrested in .

I would like to know if any one has used this with sucess, it isays on the bottle that you can not over dose on the dosing but for a small bio load tank use less and for a high bnio load use more.

I dont know about all of you but I have all simming in my sump, and I watch my trates all the time and po4.

I would like to know if any one has used this with great sucess.

Thats the product I was referring to, you can now mix your saltwater with your own levels of calcium. Magnesium etc...

What's the carbon product you are speaking about?

ESV salt is the same way and cheaper

 

[anthony27]

what I dont get about that salt is that why do you have to mix that compund into your existing salt and sodium cloride mix as well???? makes you think

this is what I am talking about

This product was one of their first products. most people used it in conjunction with the Microbacter 7. It provided a food source for the bacteria in MB7. I used it for awhile and can't say that it worked, but at the same time I can't say anything negative either. Since my parameters were low I would guess that it was working.

Currently I've been using Vitamin C daily, with an addition of the MB7 weekly. with this regiment I've seen some good results, coloration, growth and low Phos. and other Params. If your interested let me know.

 

[Alex]

It provides more control over your mineral and additive levels.
If you want calcium at 450ppm then you add calcium to get it at that level.

 

[anthony27]

so then you have to dose that and the mb7 as well. that is intresting. are you running zeo

 

[Alex]

not at present, with my old tank I was, and the tank looked great. but I wanted to upgrade and at present the only brightwell products i use are:

salt
MB7
calcion
magnesium.
all good products. cost wise the Ca and Mg are not cost effective but they are readily available. when I ran out of the BRS Ca and Mg I started using brightwell, good product.
my levels are good.
Ca- 458ppm
Mg- 1420ppm
Salinity- 1.026
phos- .02

 

[anthony27]

[isgon26]

I dose the following

Bio Fuel
MB7
Koralcolor
Amino Coral
Vitamin C

I have had great results as far as coral coloration. Amazingly after 2 weeks my sps's were almost flourecent.

 

[anthony27]

[anthony27]

[Alex]

The amino acids are easy to dose and work pretty good.
