4 month tank 75 gallon system.
Everything is going fairly well, I just need clarification.
Been running fine 15-20 NO3(salifert)and once i got the Hanna i saw .17 PO4. I brought PO4 down and I have been dosing lanathum chloride to keep levels less than .1 without bottoming out.
Now my NO3 is showing 0 last 2 weeks. I sent out an ICP and it also stated 0
I understand algae can consume it and give a false reading but does this apply to an ICP as well? My algae has diminished significantly but is not "gone" in fact i hope to clear it a little more.
I would like to clear off a little more but dont want to risk dinos is this enough algae to give me a false 0?
thank you in advance
