32 gal bio I’ve, lots of established rock to start, and is 6 months old. Sadly a lot of my stuff died 2 months ago when tank reached 92* for a few hours, but most survived. My prized gold tipped green cloves died, SPS died, some spas aren’t opening as nicely, but it’s made a really nice recovery.
I haven’t changed the water in a month. I feed heavy. Big bio load. BUT, my tank looks great. I’ve been dosing trace elements and reef ca/buffer (part A+b), every 4-5 days, without checking anything.
I checked my parameters, first time I’ve had slightly high ammonia (0.5), nitrite (0.5), and nitrates through the roof (180+) using petco kit with drops (I feel like a chemist hah).
I have the bio cube skimmer that doesn’t really do anything cept aerate the water, and massive amounts of chaeto growing crazy in chamber 2.
This pic is today. How can I get nitrates down without changing water? I’m SUPER lazy. Should I even bother? Everything looks happy…
