I just got done with a horrible bout of dinos and the lesson I learned was it’s bad to run at 0 phosphates and 0 nitrates as your goal.
While I understand now I need some of each I feel my nitrates are too high 25ppm. While my phosphates are just barely detectable using the Hanna ULR Checker at .055ppm.
The quandary I’m left with is how do I bring those nitrates down without zeroing out my phosphates?
My current idea was to use NoPoX, which bring them both down and then dose phosphates to keep some in the water. I don’t know if that’s crazy or there’s a better solution... hence this post.
