got some Flourish Excel, how much do i use for 200L tank ???

 

[clivealive]

any idea's ?

 

[Xzavier247]

5mls sounds about right. 

 

[clivealive]

what for bba it says 5ml for normal useage ?

 

[Xzavier247]

You can load the tank first around 10ml and then do 5ml consecutively. Key is to be persistent.
The bba will soon turn red and die off. If it doesn't. Then your co2 levels are still fluctuating. You have to find a good balance

bit worried about dosage as some sites say u can get fish losses   5m is normal dosage according to bottle for 200 L

bit worried about how much excel to use as some places say u can lose fish , so how much and how often is a worry

for some reason i missed this post , so thanks for the details i need
 
so 10ml first day then 5ml consecutively each day?? and for how many days

?

???
 
is it better to put in syringe and place on the affected rocks etc?

 

[Xzavier247]

Yes, Just balance your dosing and you'll be alright. You can put it in a syringe for accurate dosing but for spot treating it won't really affect it. Since there will be water flow.

thanks mate

 

[clivealive]

last question , how many days do i dose for max ?

 

[DrRob]

It has a relatively short half life in the tank, mainly as it reacts with stuff. For CO2 supplementing it's aimed at daily dosing, without any particular end point, so you can go until the algae does.

cheers started today

 

[clivealive]

been dosing for 10 days and still no sign of algae going
