Lol Matt this stuff makes all sorts of cool things.Spectracide stump remover from lowes. It's 100% potassium nitrate.
Also makes nice smoke bombs when mixed with sugar.

Where do you get it?I am a lot more paranoid about what goes in so i went and got the food/lab grade sodium nitrate. at least makes me feel better if anything lol
I have to take meds every night to shut my brain off cause all it does it think of numbers and solutionsI just want to say thanks to Russ for being a stand up guy and helping me out a ton. Thanks so much man!!!
Here was my head during the lesson I was being taught
Could you (Russ) point me in the right direction for some more reading on the subject of Cyano in relation to Po4 being higher then No3?
I've recently took my gfo offline. I always used it sparingly but noticed some nuseince algae and panicked (not something I normally do) and added new Gfo after just replacing it the week before and adding a new scrubber about 2 weeks before. Let just say I had a couple problems lol so I got ticked off and said screw Gfo I'm gonna try and maintain low Po4 readings with just my oversized skimmer and Ats. But since I took it off line I've had some dark red matting Cyano on my sand bed and I don't like it! I'm hoping maybe the above info is my problem. 1 month no Gfo and my Po4 is still 0.01-0.02 and my No3 is still reading 0 even though in not carbon dosing. Just the equipment I mentioned and 20% weekly water changes. I'm now switching to biweekly water changes.
As a side note my Sps are super happy along with everything else. [emoji3]

no3 is supposed to be above po4.Great thread. I don't have a color problem but will be dropping my no3 down as it is higher than my po4. No3=0.50 po4=0.04
ime. cyano will drop your no3 to 0 pretty quick. it is very aggressive.I hear you on that but I have a little cyno so wanted to drop it a little usually when I start to get it I need to top off my biop's
such a purist. lol.I am a lot more paranoid about what goes in so i went and got the food/lab grade sodium nitrate. at least makes me feel better if anything lol
Ty so much for the advice! It seems like Cyano is something I've ALWAYS battled with. I really don't understand it at all! My corals are happy and my nutrients seem in line?oh man this is complex and should be for another thread.
you have cyano now. it is a bacterial infection. they love to come in when other bacteria are scant. if you had more nutrients. you wouldnt have had cyano try to take over.
dosing nitrate will not fix cyano. cyano eats or binds that stuff up so quick it is a losing battle.
imho. get chemiclean. run it for 50-75% of recommended doseage and get it out of your system.
after 48 hours promptly get your nitrates to 5ppm and run carbon. keep your nitrates above 1ppm at all costs.
if you see gha you gotta manually get rid of it.
then introduce seachem stability. if you want to go the extra mile dose mb7 as well. but stability did the most for me. this will allow that bacteria to stay the dominant strain.
