Looking to wrap my head around the chemistry between the two.
Recently overdosed my Nitrates with bad test kit to astronomical high numbers undetectable on Red Sea chart.
At the time I was showing .025 Phosphates. Idk what Nitrates actually where as test kit was faulty.
Got my Nitrates down to 15-20ppm but now Phosphates are zeroing out.
Should I be running phosphates higher since nitrates are higher and nitrates are depleting phosphates?
Does higher or lower alkalinity have anything to do with this equalibrium?
Is there a formula that calculates what phosphates should be to nitrates?
Has anyone written a reef chemistry book for dummies yet? If not I'm sure it would be best seller if it already isnt.
