Having issues with nitrates. No matter what I do they kind of stay constant.
Using Red Sea test kit. Which is difficult matching the color, or getting a definite number.
ammo-0.1 maybe less anything then 0 changes color
Nitrite-0
Nitrates-10-50 no idea what color is closest to what
SG-1.026
PH 8.2
I do weekly water changes, vacuum the sand bed, had diatoms for a while, but finally getting that under control.
Pineapple sponges are beoming more abundant. Other than that the tank looks clean, fish are happy, cleaner shrimp seems to moly every week or every other week. Corals are growing and looking good.
Am I over reacting and just chasing numbers of where I “should” be at?
