Eeek
Hi before you go dosing like crazy :D you need to get your phosphates under control, as adding in all these lovely bacteria foods can lead to outbreaks of bacteria red slime to you and me if there is to much phosphate. look to reduce down to around 0.3 before diving in, if the nitrates are high the Bak will help take care of it pretty quickly.

Hi Mate

i got the impression the min and bak is ok with phos, just the reactor and lithe is a no no, anyway was told to keep doses below the recomended amounts so im going at the rate for 200 gallons and my system is 350.
Chris did mention i may get some cyno as the system starts up.

the phos is on the way down now as im running Rowa through a reactor, i will keep a close eye on everything though..

cheers
