OMG Aquatics Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Dose very little. If you have a pH probe and monitor during dosage, there's a pH spike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillznglass Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Did not know about the pH spike. Any idea what causes it? I have been dosing 1/2 dose once a week. Is that alright? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jledermann Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 I think it was soothing shrimp who recommended to me take a bamboo skewer, dip it in, tap off excess and dip in tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Yepper, Jled. I do that every feeding, and so far so good. I only dip in maybe 1/2 inch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put liter of ro in a pitcher, tested pH for control then added bacter as mixed and tested and no change was noted Were you using a pH probe? I used it on a 10G tank and it dropped .2 pH but rose back up slowly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jledermann Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 No liquid test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMG Aquatics Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 No liquid test Liquid test aren't accurate and if you're using API, it's measured by .2 and coloration is literally the same when you look at chart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
