Hello fellow reefers,
I would like to get some feedback on how to lower my nitrates, I have literally done all of the following, but by Hannah Checker HR keeps reading 75ppm nitrates:
I have a 180 gallon tank with only a few small coral frags,
I have done a 60% water change, I have tried NOPOX, i have macro cheato algea in my sump, for about three weeks, with a Kessil tuna flora light. Seems like cheato hasnt grown noticeably larger in this time.
Param is as follows - I test with a combination of Hanna Checkers and Red Sea Foundation PRO
1.025
0 ammonia
0 nitrates
8.7 DKH
475 CA
1500 MG
1.5 on the Phosphate
I have 8 fish in the tank, Sailfin, Regal, Purple Tang, Powder brown, Blue Faced Angel, White tail Kole Tang, Diamond Goby, and a yellow tail damsel.
Ive had these fish for close to 2 years now. Tank has been running for 3 years
Here are some photos of my tank and livestock, any feedback would be appreciated.
