Red SeaNo3:Po4-X Nitrate & Phosphate Reducer - 1L

Not working don't waste your money

I have a 160-gallon mixed reef that has been established for more than 5 years. I have always had un-detectable levels of NO3 and Phosphates (tested with Salifert kits). Last few years, due to some circumstances I neglected my reef and my nitrates shot up-to 100ppm. Needless to say, my corals suffered, primarily due to uncontrollable cyanobacteria. Tried reducing my nutrients with a bigger skimmer, bio-pellet reactor, GFOs and more regular water changes. Even though I switched from frozen foods to just flake food for my fish, my nitrates (possibly phosphates) would not budge that much.About 20 days ago I started dosing about 15-mls of NoPox. As of today my Nitrates are little under 50ppm and dropping. Once It gets down below 25ppm, I will reduce the dosage to half so that I do not over-shoot the landing. So far I have not seen any negative effects on tank (fish or corals). If anything, my corals are looking healthier and more vibrant. I will post another update in few weeks. But as of right now, I am pleasantly surprised on how well this product as worked out. Currently dosing NoPox manually, but I do plan on adding it to my doser as part of my daily dosing schedule. Btw, first time in many years, my sandbed is sugary white again. I did take my bio-pellet reactor off-line before starting to use this product.

Used as directed...no change in 3 months, so I gave up. It may work for other people, but did at work at all for me. I'm now using a bio-pellet reactor.
