Hi!
I had been battling dinos for 3 or 4 months. I finally was able to get them to a manageable level and now I have hair algea. I've removed as much as I can by hand (slowly) and purchased 2 tuxedo urchins. I've had them for about 4 days now. I tested my nitrates today and they've dropped to 1.2
Obviously I don't want them to bottom out or the Dino population will explode. What would make nitrate drop so drastically without a water change? The removal of the algea?
Is it really that low or could the algea be absorbing it? Ive tested it twice by hanna and red sea and its accurate.
I dont want to dose if it's going to make the algea explode too.
