Hi there, I started a new 24 gallon AIO tank recently and I cycled the tank with live sand, dry rock, no filters and no protein skimmer. I did my cycle with Fritz Aquatics FritzZyme TurboStart 900 Saltwater alongside MicroBacter QuikCylc for ammonia. Before day 3, I was using Salifert to test...

These might help in understanding

Hi all! Newbie here and needed help on cycling my tank. I cycled with Dr Tims One and Only and Ammonia drops with Dry rock and sand. Im also using and API Test kit. I have added my first 2 clowns feeding it once a day, on the 4th week after testing Ammonia 0 (Wasnt able to test for Nitrite and...

Hello. Have a Trident NP in the box with new cables and tubes. Getting out of hobby. Works perfect. No reagents. MSRP $669 $400 Shipped Venmo preferred but can make other arrangements.

I’m thinking about buying some rock flower anemones and I want to know if my nitrates are to low. I usually have them between 0-3ppm. I’ve seen people talking about having really high nutrients when keeping rfa’s.

What do all algae (and cyano too) need to survive? Nutrients. What are nutrients? Ammonia/ammonium, nitrite, nitrate, phosphate and urea are the major ones. Which ones cause most of the algae in your tank? These same ones. Why can't you just remove these nutrients and eliminate all the algae in...

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...

Full setup + complete Nitrate Api Test Kit is finally up! 🪸 Same AI-powered color analyzer from the phosphate video — this time running a full nitrate test from start to finish. Still a work in progress but results are looking promising. If you missed the phosphate video or the original DIY...

Originally I only fed my fish once every two days, for a while my nitrate is stable at 5 ppm but my phosphate struggles to stay stable going from .25 down to zero. I have been dosing bright well's Neo nitro and Neo phos at 5 ml daily because I want the nitrate to go to 10 ppm and for phos to...

I have a 150 gallon peninsula been set up about 2 years. Ive always used reef crystals and recently started dosing all for reef which I am new to dosing but so far it seems to be working rasing my parameters and coral all looks good but anytime I buy zoas they die in a few weeks and any chaeto...

Since starting my tank I have always struggled to keep nitrate at a detectable level. I have been dosing Ammonium Bicarbonate 20,000mg/L at the rate of 20ML into 130 Gallons daily. I send in monthly icps and they always come back at not detectable. I do not notice any negative effects from this...

I got this in a combined sale, and have no intention of using it, if anyone would want it, for almost any reason and be willing to pay shipping on it, or do a local pickup, and may be a little something $5-10 bucks for my efforts of logistics its all yours. Its never been opened, as it...

Hi everyone, Basically I left testing for 2 weeks and had a mag/cal and alk drop so I’ve just fixed that then i was looking and in the last 2 days one of my clowns disappeared fully with no trace, (the tanks only 4 months old) so I moved all the rocks looking for him, now my phosphate has gone...

Looking for anyone that has experience or suggestions on how to naturally keep phosphate levels in check. I want to find why my phosphate is high and solve that issue instead of treating the symptom. I already rinse and strain my 2 frozen cubes I feed per day. I do also have auto feeder that...

Hi all, I have 75 gallon that I made a post about about 3 months ago I was battling GHA, luckily 90% of it is gone at this point but I am now facing cyanobacteria. I think the cause of this was when fighting GHA I had really high phosphates and nitrates which I still do just little bit lowered...

Good afternoon, Thank you again for your help in advance! Yesterday I did a test on the water and the readings were: Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Salinity 1.024 Nitrate 10-20 PH 7.8 (I can dose this up but should I, if I am not too worried about corals, just fish and Inverts other than GSP) Temp 78 I...

Hello everyone! I am curious as I sometimes run into an issue more specifically when I feed frozen food. I am in a similar situation to some and I have read a couple other posts but still not 100% sure. I have two clownfish, 1 longnose hawkfish, & 1 diamond goby. All of them are small/juvenile...

Hello everyone! I have a Redsea desktop cube that comes in around 18.5 gallons. I was looking at options to add another layer of filtration to manage nitrate levels. I am very much used to freshwater tanks where adding plants heavily reduces Nitrates in the water and I am currently sitting at...

I have a 90g tank and with about 15 fishes. My tank is loaded with fishes and I’m still struggling to keep my nitrates above 5 ppm. My LPS aren’t doing well with stable parameters other than low nitrates and that’s the only reason I can find. I feed a ton too Parameters. All 7.5 Cal 430 Mag...

These are the results from today, same as it was the last time I tested 1.5 years ago. Is there really a benefit to testing these parameters weekly or monthly if I keep getting the same results every time?

I cannot get my nitrates below 30, ranges from 30-40 (has been as high as 80) - testing with Hanna and results verified similar with Fauna Marin ICP. I know that ‘30 ain’t so bad’ but with all that we are doing, and stopping just one thing causes it to skyrocket I have a tank that is 1 year...

Hi, My sump has a refugium and filter socks. Currently, the tank is doing well, but I hate changing and cleaning the filter socks. I recently tried using filter floss, but I noticed that my glass gets dirty much quicker and the phosphate climbed up. So, I'm thinking of installing a roller...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a reference solution for nitrate and phosphate to verify my Hanna and Trident NP tester. I know Fauna Marin used to have a seawater reference product but I think it might be discontinued as It says it is out of stock at all the retailers I use. I...
