Hi guys!
I have fluval 13.5 gallons saltwater aquarium recently i had brown algea problem in the tank so i tested my water and noticed that my phosphate and nitrate were high
Phos: 0.19 , Nitrate : 40 so i did two (40%) massive water change and right now my phosphate is 0 and nitrate is 10 ppm. i asked from two different fish store about the ideal level for nitrate and they gave two completly different answers.
One of them told me the nitrate needs to be close to zero and the other one said below 20 ppm is safe. So im kinda lost and i dont want to get the algea problem again. Does anyone know for sure ?
Thank you.
