Ive been dosing neo Nitrates too. Ill raise it to 1ppm in a day but like a day or 2 after its back doen to zero. How much were you raising your ppm a day?
I was following the directions and did not have it crash again, so I was lucky. I wonder what's causing it to keep crashing. How much do you feed? Maybe lower your skimmer settings?

Ive been following the directions too. I feed twice a day and not a ton of food as i only have 2 clowns and a blue hippo. More livestock would help too produce more waste abd i was going to next week get some copepods which hopefully would help. Ive completely turned of my skimmer bc it isnt a dc bc its in a IM 40L Aio tank. Thanks for your help btw

Feeding more may help Nitrate stay up. @Randy Holmes-Farley any advice?
