Apparently it does come down. I went to LFS to do full health check and here's the result:
- Ca < 290
- Mg 1000 mg/L
- kH 6.7
- Po4 0.05
- No3 10 mg/L
- Salinity 1.027
If according to
this article, 90% of my elements are no good.
So today, as per my LFS recommendation, I will be dosing 50 ml of reef foundation A (Ca), 60 ml of reef foundation C (Mg) and 50 ml of reef foundation B (Buffer/Alk) and of course, the 3 ml injection of NoPox.
He said if following the manual, I should be dosing 100 ml of Ca, 120 ml of Mg & 100 ml of Alk but to take it easy and to start with half dose and take the water back to the shop tomorrow to check reading.
In saying that, NoPox does look to be effective in combating the Nitrate issue.
