Hi,
this is my first post, I am Ponraj from India, a beginner reefer. Will soon post my images after getting succeeded.
I have trying for DSR nearly a year and now in my nutrients controlling stage. Nitrates are brought constant to 2.5 and my phosphates are in a swing between 0.04 to 0.074 (Hanna ULR checker). So far I have not started with iron dosing since I am not sure and also using Rowaphos, For last two weeks I have stopped using Rowa and started with iron dosing when my PO4 is at 0.067. I have started with 0.03ppm and reached 0.15ppm are as below,
06Apr18 - 0.067
08Apr18 - 0.086
09Apr18 - 0.248
I have added Rowaphos on 09Apr18. Is it normal to get this raise when dosing with iron. Please advice
---- update ----
Can anyone help me,
I want to share more on this, Since I am in India buying DSR products are costlier including the transportation so I am using Iron II Citrate for iron dosing
Balance all testings including the test equipments I am following as per DSR, below or the things which I have changed,
1-Not using DSR salt mix (due to cost) Having water with Skimz Reef pure salt
2-Using a canister filter with sponge instead if power filter and changing sponge every week
3-So far used ROWA for Phosphate and want to go with Iron.
Thanks for your suggestions and advice.
