Hi Guys,
I apologize if this is a repeat post, however I have not seen my exact issue.
I am fighting a dino issue in my coral QT tank, as there is low phosphate and low nitrate. I purchased Brightwell neonitro in hopes of raising the nitrate. Since dosing the nitrates have slightly dropped. I am using a hanna nitrate checker to confirm. My nitrates started at 0.19ppm. I added the equivalent of a .5ppm rise for 2 consecutive days and noticed the nitrates, fell to 0.03. I then doubled that dose and noticed nitrates were only at 0.09ppm 24hrs later, according to the directions, this should have been over a 1ppm increase.
The directions mention the possiblity of being carbon neutral, is this possible? Though I do not full understand this, I have 6 marinepure bio balls from my DT and a few lbs of LR, while the tank is only 20g. I am not skimming or doing water changes right now. I am feeding the corals 2-3x weekly.
Please let me know any thoughts you may have!
Thanks in advance!
