decided to bite the cookie and try it.

did notice the when i first stringed it out it was clear in colour. so i guess shaking is required has a green/brown tint to it. added 5.3ml

Correct..shaking is very important

i do it because i zone out for 5 seconds and shake it naturally while staring at the tank ill make a mental note to keep being a weirdo and continue to do that lol

I've noticed quite a few bubbles raising from my sand now a couple of days following dose two. Is this expected? Or could it be from something else?

Sam, we have had a few guys report this issue...not sure exactly what in your tank might be causing it. The good news is that in all these cases, folks have told us that it stopped after a couple of days or even hours. At the very least, it means Nualgi is starting to work.

I know I hate @Sam Parker as much as I hate Peter Parker (I don't but it rhymed) but I'd never wish cyano on his beautiful tank :( hope it eases up Sam keep an eye on it

Sam Parker · Apr 30, 2014

Many thanks for the reply, I'll keep an eye on it :)

Sam Parker · Apr 30, 2014

Tanks only been running 4/5 months, pretty sure it is just nitrification happening. No need for concern :)

did my first dose yesterday morning and today my tank is a bit cloudy is this normal?

Sam Parker · Apr 30, 2014

What was your dosage and tank volume? I didn't notice any cloudiness at all, but could be a bit of a bacteria bloom (which is a good thing)

Yes, thats your diatom bloom..should clear out in a few hours. In case you havent, take a peek at our FAQs - explains how it works.

riley · Apr 30, 2014

I've got appox 650-700L water and i dosed 5.3ml. yea didn't look to bad prob just a diatom bloom as uv suggested

Sam Parker · Apr 30, 2014

Keep us updated, from what @Anil Nanda has said - should be gone in a day or two tops.

daveH · May 1, 2014
