nitrate

Hello I’ve been cycling my 40 gallon tank for more than 2 weeks. My ammonia has been around 0.25 for the past few days while my nitrite has been 0. My nitrates is 2.5 and it’s slowly going up 0.1-0.3 everyday. Is my tank ready for fish and should I do a water change?

So as the title says I did about a 20% (5 gallons) water change last Sunday and tested nitrates on Monday. They came out around 13.9ppm which was very surprising because that was slightly higher than they were before the water change. I left it at that for a few days and tested again and came...

Has anyone put nitrates and or phosphate remover in their ato water/container? I’m currently using gfo but I can’t get my phosphates low enough, I have some algae starting to grow on the rocks. Also, nitrates won’t budge… I’m not home enough to continuously feed although I do have a auto...

Hi, I’ve recently noticed this type of algae growing on my rock work and sand bed but I’m having issues identifying it. I has am appearance of bryopsis however looking under the microscope it doesn’t appear to look like it, I’ve also ruled out green hair algae as I have dealt with it before and...

My overall system is 340gal and pretty heavily stocked, however I consistently dose Brightwell's 5X Nitrate and Phosphate to keep those from bottoming out entirely. Is there an upside to notching up my Nitrate+Phosphate dosing slightly, and then dosing carbon at the same time? Are there...

Hello all! Tank is roughly 9 months old and my corals are starting to have issues. LFS told me that I would not need to do water changes… Found out that was certainly not the issue. Working on water changes now, it is there anything I should do to get phosphates and nitrates under control...

As the title suggests, my phosphates seem to be out of control at 2.0 and I somehow have zero Nitrates. The tank was neglected for a couple years after my daughter was born and essentially went for 2 years with no water changes or detritus removal and very few times emptying the skimmate (it...

I have a question for you @Randy Holmes-Farley I just installed a sulfur denitrator and my ORP has risen rapidly in the last 24hrs. I’ve read your article on ORP and know that nitrifying bacteria can affect ORP. I’m new to this type of reactor but from what I understand the goal is to create...

What Corals do you have in your tank that are the first to indicate your parameters are getting out of whack. For my it's my mystic sunset monti. As soon as phosphates start to rise or things get off a little it starts to retract polyps and the color starts to fade.

Set up my first reef tank in November and added my first corals a couple of weeks ago and everything is doing amazing! Everything opened up within hours if not minutes and even a blasto which came in pretty rough shape is now thriving. But when I went to test phosphates and nitrates they were...

Hi all, It’s been a few weeks since my last post, regarding my high nitrate issue I am experiencing. Originally the issue was thought to have been high nitrate and undetectable phosphate however I have had an ICP and the phosphates are actually 0.1 so this dosnt seem as bad. However the...
