Hello R2R!
I am hoping I can get some advice on how to get my nitrates and phosphates down. I've attempted several different things without any luck.
To start, it is a 90 gallon system. I want to transition from more of a mixed reef to a dominate SPS tank. I've done a 25% water change, siphoned the sand bed, moved some rock work and siphoned behind that, completely cleaned sump / refugium and reduced feeding. Nothing changed.
Can rock hold nitrate? I don't believe this is the case but I am not sure what to think at the moment.
Testing with hanna checkers. Nitrate 75, Phosphate .9
Hoping I can get some feedback on potential solutions. I've starting reading on Red Sea NO3 PO4 X - Has anyone used this product?
Thanks in advance.
