Zero nitrates and possible dino outbreak at 4 months

[mcarroll]

I've tried dosing NeoNitro to raise my nitrates, but they continue to read 0.00 ppm. I also decided to skip a water change in hopes of allowing nutrients to build up, but my nitrates are still reading zero.

Now it looks like the dinos are starting to take over.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Nitrates: 0.00

Phos:003

For filtration im running protein skimmer 24/7 and roller filter

I feed 3 times a day sometimes 4.

How are your pods and cleanup crew? If the pods have disappeared and cleanup crew appear drunk or dying, then you have a toxic dino bloom.

With PO4 that low, I would hesitate dosing ONLY nitrates....you should dose, but target BOTH of these values:
≥ 0.10 ppm PO4 and ≥ 5 ppm NO3

My clean up crew seem to be okay,my tuxedo urchin still alive. I added pods last night so i'll keep my eyes on them. Im dosing 15ml of nitronitrates and still get reading of 0.00
