Hey guys, I have an ultra low nutrient system that I’m trying to boost nitrates in. Previously nitrate was always undetectable. I have fish and feed frozen fairly heavily, but I think my reef octopus skimmer works a little too well. I turned down my skimmer and my ammonia has been up the past three days (0.25ppm the first day, 0.5ppm the second/third day) . Nitrites and nitrates are still at 0. I feel like my tank is cycling all over again. My acan coral is not happy unfortunately, but all the other occupants don’t seem too distressed (Yet...). I wanted some opinions on where I should go from here. Should I try to adapt my feeding schedule to keep ammonia between 0.25 and 0.5ppm for a while until I boost my nitrates? Will it take a few weeks? I’m also thinking of running to the store and buying a bottle of nitrifying bacteria just for the heck of it. My other option would be to turn the skimmer back to where it was, and just dose nitrate indefinitely. Oh, and half the rock/sand is 3 years old, the other half is 6 months old (upgraded from 29g to 75g). I don’t think I have a lot of good critters/bacteria/diversity though from keeping the water too clean.
