Hmmm, might not be the iron then. I've got some GFO coming from Two Part Solutions, when that comes in maybe it will help. Then again, since you're having success I might go get some Rowa tonight at...

From the picture it looks like the same thing I'm battling right now. It seemed to start when I started using a Phosban reactor, so I thought it might be caused by excess iron in the water. I did a 2...

I finally broke down and ordered some food grade Calcium Chloride from Two Part. Probably could have found some locally but it's not worth the hassle IMO. I'd rather pay them to source the right...

Thanks!
The reason I asked is because I've been getting some extra brown algae growth since starting a Phosban reactor (strange, I know). Took me a while, but it finally dawned on me that perhaps...

Does GFO leach iron?

Does granular ferric oxide leach iron into the water? I'm wondering if I'm running a Phosban reactor do I need to still dose iron for macro growth, or at least should I reduce the dose. Is it...

I used Prodibio for a year and had no RTN. The product is a little underwhelming IMO, it helps a bit but doesn't seem to do that much. I recently stopped Prodibio and switched to an algae refugium...

The General Chemical soda ash did mix up with a very slight brown tinge to it, but there was no smell. I've been using it for 5 days now with no adverse effects.

I would cut back on your photoperiod by 25% until you get it under control, then slowly bring it back up.

I'll see how it's labelled when it comes. I'm not sure, but I think "food grade" has to have a certificate of analysis. I didn't think to ask for aquarium grade- if it exists.

I would mix it 5 gal at a time, but transfer it to a 1 gal jug to hook up to your doser. A malfunction of you doser or timer could dump all 5 gals into your tank (been there)

If you are using it as the magnesium part of Randy's 3 part supplement you should mix a 5 to 3 ratio.


As a stand alone magnesium supplement it is 7 1/4 to 3/4
