What are ypu guys running your Alk at with these higher levels of N? Last I check my N and P were barely readable on a Salifert kit but I have cyano in my macroalgae tank as well as a little in my main display with all corals still looking great. My Alk is at 7.8.
I've been running my Alk at 8.3dkh for a few months now. I'm slowly bringing it up to 9dkh while running higher nutrients.
Ikr, I use salifert and all I can tell is my no3 is somewhere between 10 & 20ppm. I don't see how many can get so accurate numbers with these color charts to go by. Hanna needs to come out with a nitrate checker.
I totally agree! You can't get an exact number because the color is open to interpretation. All I can say is that on my Red Sea kit my readings convert to somewhere between 16ppm and 20ppm according to the color wheel of their device.
