nitrate

As the title suggests, my phosphates seem to be out of control at 2.0 and I somehow have zero Nitrates. The tank was neglected for a couple years after my daughter was born and essentially went for 2 years with no water changes or detritus removal and very few times emptying the skimmate (it...

I have a question for you @Randy Holmes-Farley I just installed a sulfur denitrator and my ORP has risen rapidly in the last 24hrs. I’ve read your article on ORP and know that nitrifying bacteria can affect ORP. I’m new to this type of reactor but from what I understand the goal is to create...

What Corals do you have in your tank that are the first to indicate your parameters are getting out of whack. For my it's my mystic sunset monti. As soon as phosphates start to rise or things get off a little it starts to retract polyps and the color starts to fade.

Below is my chart of my parameters I have been documenting for the past month. I am struggling with nitrate levels. I am feeding twice a day with Brine/Mysis shrimp and doing lower percentage water changes. Also I believe I am having a Cyano outbreak right now? See video below. Should I be...

Hi all, I'm currently struggling with some parameter issues. I've attached at the bottom what my levels are as of this past Saturday and a video of my tank. Right now I'm slowly trying to raise my salinity by topping off with 1.026. My pH has be stable at 8 for about two months. My nitrate...

Set up my first reef tank in November and added my first corals a couple of weeks ago and everything is doing amazing! Everything opened up within hours if not minutes and even a blasto which came in pretty rough shape is now thriving. But when I went to test phosphates and nitrates they were...

Im newer to reef keeping and im in the middle of battling dinos my nitrates were undetectable and my phosphate was at .04 dosed to raise the nitrates to 2 ppm and the next day my nitrates looked to be about 1 ppm but my phosphate went down to .02 i repeated the dosage and my nitrates still...

Hi all, It’s been a few weeks since my last post, regarding my high nitrate issue I am experiencing. Originally the issue was thought to have been high nitrate and undetectable phosphate however I have had an ICP and the phosphates are actually 0.1 so this dosnt seem as bad. However the...

Our tank is about 1.5 years old, and is very well stocked. For the past couple of months, we have been wrestling with 0.0 nitrates. (Measured using the Hanna test) We tried to combat it by overfeeding, but then we had a spike in phosphates, and a subsequent GHA outbreak. We tried to combat it...

Hello everyone, Five days ago I started my fishless cycle using Dr Tim's one and only, my water volume is 14.5 gallons and I dosed the whole 4oz bottle. The reading for each day are the same each day Ph 8.0, Ammonia 1.0 and Nitrite 0. I tested my Nitrates today and it's at 5. Is my tank...

Hi All, Looking for some advice on this issue if possible, Over the past 2 months my Nitrates have gone up as high as 90. I have tried a few things to counter this, Water changes, New filter floss media and Nopox. I have managed to get them down to 77 on the last test. Which as much as my...

Hello everyone! My tank is a 80 gallon with a 13 gallon sump, its been running since March and most things have generally been going good. I started the tank up with a Maxspect R420 putting out about 220 par at the surface. My nutrition values have been pretty stable from the beginning, sitting...

Some I’m starting to dose my tank with Neonitro and Neophos. Whenever I test my tank my nitrates are always 0 but I’ve been feeding slightly more so my phosphate now between 0.03-0.06 whenever I test. But I somewhat want to stop since I only have 3 fish. It’s a 15 gallon IM tank thinking of...

New 7ft long 650 litre mixed reef running for a couple of months although I did use a mix of live rock from my old established system and new dry rock. Things are going pretty well but currently going through the uglies with hair algea and cyano. But both of these are reducing. My issue is I...

Here are the important bits: Nitrate are between 40 and 80ppm after a two week trip away from my tank. I have done a 10% water change and am planning to do another one daily until it is back to normal. What can I do to fix the issue right now, and what are some suggestions for future trips...

NP-Bacto-Balance essentially supplies nutrients to the corals at the lowest levels right? So, would these levels show in a test kit? Can you explain the process of dialing in my dosage for this product? I'm starting at 0.40 mL for my (40 gallon DT, 20 gallon sump) tank.

Hey all, it's been a few years since I kept a saltwater tank - my expertise is definitely in freshwater and turtles. In the past I had 2 thriving reef tanks with fish & LPS but once my ex and I broke up I kept the freshwater and he took the salt tanks (he was definitely the salt expert!) So...

I'm currently running a 32 Biocube. Here is livestock: 1 Clownfish (going to be getting a female soon) 1 Snowflake Eel Parameters: Nitrates 34.6 PPM PH 8.1 Phosphate: 0.49 PPM I'm trying to get phosphates down to 0.003 at least. I've added a refugium recently so I think that'll help. I've had...

What I thought were Diatoms turned out to be Dinos on most of substrate and tank walls. I bought a microscope to verify. Photos and video are attached. These were my parameters last night Before I dosed Phosphate per some research cause they were bottomed out. Temp 81 Salinity 1.026 Ca 340 KH 8...
