Raising magnesium levels gradually up to 1400-1600 ppm can help to combat algae outbreaks, just keep CA and Alk in line as you raise the Mg. Nitrates should be below 10 ppm and phosphates should be below .10 ppm. We recommend doing a water change when Nitrate levels rise to 10 ppm. It is important to replace your phosphate media when phosphates rise to .10 ppm. Media Reactors make the most efficient use of your phosphate media by fluidizing it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDosing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vivid Aquariums uses and recommends dosing pumps to automate the dosing of additives and keep your levels more constant. A dosing pump can alleviate the chore of manually dosing your aquarium with Ca, Alk, \u0026amp; Mg 2,3, or 4 times per week and will benefit your aquarium by keeping your levels constant through frequent small additions of Ca, Alk, \u0026amp; Mg. Our tanks all progressed when we switched from 3 manual dosings per week to 70 automatic dosings per week and we got a lot more work done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thor amboinensis","offers":[{"title":"3 pack: .5\" - .75\"","offer_id":40510531600469,"sku":"","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 pack: .5\" - .75\"","offer_id":40510531633237,"sku":"","price":107.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/3388\/products\/SexyShrimp1.jpg?v=1647305893"}],"url":"https:\/\/vividaquariums.com\/collections\/thor-amboinensis\/100-150.oembed","provider":"Vivid Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
