Nitrates bottoming out

[CHSUB]

I mean I am not trying to chase perfection, but 0.5 nitrates is certainly low

It’s over 500% higher than mine in the first year. I see no difference in no3 at .07 to .5 to 5 ppm. I’ve had reef aquariums with many different levels…

Here is my tank now as I sit in my chair watch pregame…

Add some hermit,emerald,and pithos crabs. Some snails would be a good idea also. That should address the algea. Get it under control first then worry about the nitrate after its addressed.

I have 4 hermits, 3 trochus, 1 mex turbo, 5 ceriths and a sand conch
