nitrate 0

hey guys, i constantly struggle low phosphate (0.01ppm) and low nitrates (1ppm) in my 8 gallon nano. It is packed with corals and i dose daily 0.05 ppm PO4 and around 8ppm NO3, but the next day it is almost gone again. I also top off 500ml (0.13 gallons) with fresh water due to evaporation. I...

I am new to saltwater tanks, my tank is about 3 months old. After cycling my tank the nitrates have consistently been around 0 to 1 ppm. I am starting to get green hair algae. My phosphates are currently at 0.2. Should I dose nitrates to help with the algae and to help lower my phosphates given...

Hi Fellow Reefers, I have a 20-gallon long tank that’s been running since 2021. For a while, it was on the back burner due to family responsibilities and going back to school for my master’s, but recently I’ve gotten back into proper husbandry and it’s really revived my passion for the hobby...

So I found this bottle of nitrate lower additive and I was wondering if you knew of any issues with it. It works great! Claims to lower nitrates to zero within a month. I’m assuming that’s for very high nitrates because mine only took a few days. Seemed to good to be true but I got it anyways...

Hello! I’m about 3 months into starting a new 90g reef. For several months, I have had a couple soft corals (mushroom, leathers, etc), but recently for the past week everyone has been closed. They don’t seem to be shedding, as they’re all closed at the same time and I know what their shed phases...

Just want to verify that this is cyanobacteria in the images below? Tank is over 3 years old, but I replaced the substrate when I switched from a glass to an acrylic tank in June - so for a while I assumed that I had a bit of new tank syndrome. Things seemed to be improving a month or so ago...

Well i was a bit surprised to find my nitrate at .2 after testing after a couple of months. I do believe it is accurate as there is no discernible color after adding the reagent (Hanna) at all. Probably due to my faux algae scrubber aka all the algae in my sump. I kept this going over the...

Hello friends, My 125 has had coral in it for almost a year at this point (coral is light-moderately stocked, 40ish pieces). I have had great success learning on here from other reefers and got my tank dialed in nicely. The one area I haven't been able to get consistent is nutrients...

Hello Guys, I started cycling my tank with Fritz Turbo 700 and 2 ppm of ammonia from their other product. After a week, I had 2 ppm ammonia and 5 ppm nitrite, so it was clear that the cycle wasn’t progressing as expected. I did a 70% water change and began using Seachem Stability along with...
