I have a 200 gallon aquaphonic tank that feeds 6 floating bed troughs. Each trough is 12" deep X 36" wide X 6 feet long. Each trough has a 1.5 inch thick star foam floating media that has 36 holes for plants. I have a 50 gallon digester drum with media balls. I could not get my ppm down even with water changes every day. Great for my fruit trees but alot of work for me. My fish was dying. I bought this product because ammonia was an issue as well. It takes 3ML for 200 gallons. ( About 1/2 measuring cup) Fish acted like little kids ~ boy were they happy. Meanwhile I still struggled with having to use this productt every couple days because there is no directions as to how often to use it in the tank. I continued my search. I stumbled on this stuff called Matrix Bio Media which looks like 3/8" gravel that is very porous. The beneficial bacteria is "in" the stones. I modified the 1" PVC pipe that water is pumped from the bio filter to my fish tank up about 24 " higher than the top of the fish tank and overand down into a 1.5 gallon bucket that I drilled holes in the bottom. ( Note: I only drilled holes around a 3" diameter in the center of the bottom of the bucket so the bucket would hold water back so the media would have time to work). I hung the bucket with the Matrix media over the top of my tank - the water flowed into the bucket. The water drained through the matrix media through the bottom of the bucket into the fish tank. Within 30 minutes my ammonia level was at 0 ppm. First time in 4 weeks. The nitrates are coming down but is slower. I think the Amquel plus and the matrix media is a one two punch. Finally something that has worked. I have over 200 plants growing in my 6 troughs on floating beds of water. It takes alot to keep down the ammonia and nitrates. Because of my over population of plants the pH is continually lowering down into the 5.5 range. I use pH up to move the pH back to 6.5 . Hope this helps. I could have sure used this help. It would have saved me 100's of dollars in products that didn't make a difference, a lot of water changes, sore back, dead fish, sadness and aggravation.Read full review
