Okay so I read through about 20 or so Nitrate threads, super helpful! But every time I'd read...my nitrates are like 70ppms! Lol
WELL I just tested my 90g Fowlr and they exceed 250ppms....
I did the high range red sea ( 1ml of tank water and 4ml of ro) results multiply by 5. And they definitely exceed the 50ppms color.... it is not faulty and I did 2 tests correctly
My fish are doing great though. I have dosed prime.
Background: rehomed tank. A month since move. Removed hippo tang that was too big and providing a lot of waste. 3 other very large fish that poop a LOT. I dont overfeed but will cut back.
All other parameters in check. Phos low
Sump is a pro clear aquatic system with bio balls. I am adding a filter sock. I already added 5 xport bio blocks, purigen and chemi pure blue.
I was thinking about adding fish. NOPE not now lol.
Doing a massive water change. But I doubt that will help. Will keep doing it.
Have a few options,, add Chaeto to sump with a light, chaeto reactor, and thats pretty much all I've got haha.
This is going to be a struggle
