    Mike, isn't the point of dosing the MB7 and Biofuel to drive down the nutrients?
    Wouldn't it be counter productive to add to much back into the system?
    Other than maybe small amount of Amino Acids and Vit C, plus the standard Alk, Calc, and mag. Just curious


    For my tank, standard Berlin style, I add a squirt of Rotifers, and Tigger pods to the tank every other day. And in between I add a squirt of phyto for my baby clams. A few drops of Vita Chem when I think of it.

    It is more about finding the balance than total nutient limitation. Most people find they can feed more often on this system. I think of it as ULNS acheived through assimilation and efficient removal.

    I am adding all elemental additives with the exception of the Vit C which is 5ml for over 300 gallons of system water.
