Ok so I was having issues with Zoas dying and closing up and then a Dino outbreak. This all started after a large water change and removal of a decent amount of sand. (Big mistake)
Anyway I finally got my Hanna low range nitrate and did my first test. (No dilution)
I got a 0.00 reading. I know the reading was correct because I dosed 40 ml of ME nitrate and did a second test. 1.33 reading.
min my first test , after adding the final reagent, the water stayed crystal clear, so I guess there really was 0 nitrate. The second test turned pink after I added the second reagent.
So my question is how did I get to 0 nitrate?
What should I aim for ?
How often should I dose / test ?
