Hey guys been looking at ways to lower nitrates in my tank. Have an ugly algae issue im trying to correct
Current parameters are
Nitrates 20-25
Phosphate 0.02
Alk 8.5
Cal 448
Mag 1400
Salt 1.025
Temp 78
PH 8.3
Run a refugium with chaeto and sea lettuce
I have a lot of live rock in the tank, not sure how much in weight but there is a lot lol.
I also run two boxes worth of marine pure spheres in the sump.
In addition have been dosing microbacter 7 in 5ml doses daily for about a month. Just recently upped the dose to 10ml as of today to see if that may help.
Also dose reef trace and reef plus
Any advice?
