Correct dosage of np pro and pro bio s

ayionna06 · 03/02/2016, 06:16 PM

i am really confused. On the box it says 1 drop per 27 gallons of water
On the websites it says using with a doser 2000ml:5ml per 100l(1tsp every 27 gallons)
What would my dosage be on 300 gallons of total water volume? If I go by the box it would be 11 drops a day. If using doser it would be at least 30 ml a day. Quite expensive if the bottles are only 50 ml

For 50 ml bottle, the dosage is 1 drop/100L (27 US gal.)

For 2,000 ml container using dosing pumps, the dosage is 5ml/100L (US: 1 tsp/27 US

gal. of water.)

The 2,000 ml container is a diluted version.

Yes, correct:

For 50 ml bottle, the dosage is 1 drop/100L (27 US gal.)

For 2,000 ml container using dosing pumps, the dosage is 5ml/100L (US: 1 tsp/27 US gal. of water.)

If You have box 50ml You have to drop 11 drops daily.

Now with respect to your brand of phosphate removal called phosphate minus how does it compare to say high capacity gfo or rowaphos? Is it as strong? Last longer? Can absorb more? Etc, etc.
Rule of thumb is supposovely 1 gram for every gallon of water. So in my case I would need 300 grams. Should I just use 150 grams and gradually replace every 2 weeks and increase until I get to the 300 grams?

Our Phosphate Minus reduce phosphates and silicates in marine and freshwater aquariums.
I think that You Can use 300g for start.

You think I can start with 300 grams? I was under the impression it was to be used at a minimum and gradually increased?
