So you killed all of your live rock how long did you let the tank cycle for
As soon as I handled the ammonia spike I added fish to build up the nitrifying bacteria.
I use NSW for my water changes so I’m going to get about 90% changed out tomorrow.

Unlike phosphates, nitrates don't bind to the rock but remain in the water. So a large water change will remove them.Is there any product that quickly removed nitrates?
I’m having a similar situation but a lot different
my rocks have been used in setups for almost 20 years through a few different setups .
im battling red flatworms , and phosphates I can’t stabilize .
one day they are testing at 0.03 the next they are above 0.1
Running rowa pho’s and carbon
I believe the rocks are leaching phosphates making it almost impossible to control .
is soaking , cooking or fw soaking them beneficial ?
Interesting ....I’m at (I believe) what is the tail end of what you describe. Read about lanthanum chloride. I dose into my skimmer body for particulate removal.
Interesting ....
how much do you dose and what have you noticed ?
I was just reading one . About dripping into the skimmer .I’ve been able reduce my phosphates slowly to my target range. I dilute it with RO, and dose slowly throughly the day. The amounts would be based on your tank and levels. There are a bunch of great threads here about it. Good luck!
I compare my nitrates in Kool aid redKilljoy. Don't be so calm and rational. Can't you just let us go in there swinging sledgehammers like we were born to do? I hear 100 nitrates and it is howitzer time! OK. Sarcasm rant over. Good questions.

I wonder here to get it from .
is it dry and mixed with rodi water , and dripped / dosed as a liquid solution ?
