my tank only gets belvedere and stoli elit

imo the key is intermitent bac additions to prevent monopop's. over time of just c dosing i developed odd bacteria growth and some filter feeders increased their growth rate considerably. to combat this i used large water changes, some prodibio bio and fresh LR to reseed and the problem went away.

i have recently began to dose again and within a day killed all the algae off in my tank. the tank looked great, but it caused my multibarred angel to get a little slim...so until he gets fat and eating more prepared foods c-dosing is on hold.


nice post stony imo with the use of prodibio, ultrabak, or kz bak.... and moderate dosing it's very manageable and is a good half way point between a full zeo or ultra system.
