nitrate

Hey all, So over the last few weeks I have found tufts if gha in my display. They don't seem to be growing but they are there and driving my crazy. So I decided to break out all my checker and run some test. Well I found I have zero nitrate (hanna hr) and .03 phosphate (hanna ulr). I am...

Hi everyone I have a question. What’s a good and safe way to raise phosphates? I always read that you wanted your nitrates and phosphates to be o. But since getting back into the hobby I’ve seen/read you’ll want a little of both in your tank. I started my tank in July so still new but just...

Hello everyone, I hope everyone's is doing well!!!. I've been maintaining a "40 breeder" LPS dominant tank for about 1.5 years now. Overall, things have been smooth, but I've encountered a peculiar situation on three occasions. My nitrate levels, typically stable at 6, have unexpectedly...

Hi everyone, my first thread so go easy on me! Now to provide a bit of context to the problem, I have a mixed reed and I know everyone says not to chase numbers - which I agree with. But if your tanks a few years old you can easily have PO4 at around 0.40ppm and Nitrates around 40ppm or even...

A car accident last October led to some poor husbandry for half a year. I couldn't do water changes and driving to pick up consumables was difficult. I've recovered a substantial amount and the acro & monti colonies I have left are starting to colour back up now that I have things under better...

I'm dealing with a nutrient deficiency in my tank and have resorted to daily dosing 2ppm worth of nitrate (with potassium nitrate) and dosing 0.2ppm worth of phosphate (with potassium phosphate), daily. It's 500L of water volume and I'm adding 2g of kno3 and 0.2g of kpho3. I'm adding them dry...

phosphates help growth in coral but also brings algae and lose of coral color. How important is phosphate in saltwater aquarium? I rather have mid nitrates levels 15-20 ppm maybe push 40ppm before 10% water change all while keeping phosphate levels low. Calcium will be readily available and more...

Marine Calcium Marine Alkalinity I also have a sweet 3D printed holder/stand

Hi guys, I've been doing some research on products I might get for my tank, and came across 3 relatively similar products all made by Seachem, and I'm wondering if anyone knows what each of them do specifically, or how they work together. The main issues with my tank that I'm looking to solve...

last time i tested my nitrates a week ago they were at 12 ppm and photosphates were .85 ppm from my hannah low tester. i have too many aptasia and i wanted to buy a bunch of berghia nudibranch to hopefully get rid of them. do i need to lower my levels of both so that the nudibranch’s can survive...

I have a FOWLR 90 gallon with 20 gallon sump been up for 8 months. I only have 2 fish and a bunch of CUC. I have not been able to get my Nitrates to stop rising. I don’t feed to much switched to only frozen couple of weeks ago. I started vodka dosing now my phosphates are getting low but not...

I should really have started doing this a couple years back. NO3PO4-X usually sells for $45 give or take, and I could make so much more by just buying the Vodka, Vinegar and mixing in with RODI so what follows is a Quoted recipe from a 5yr old Nopox Recipe thread that I found on R2R. Credit goes...

Hi All - I have a pair of clownfish in a 105l tank. The parameters are as follows. Salinity - 1.025 pH - 8 Ammonia - 0ppm Nitrite - 0ppm Nitrate - 50ppm When I measured nitrate 4 days ago it was about 40ppm. Then I did a 10% water. I wanted to reduce nitrates further, and I did a 15% water...

Hello! New to the aquarium game . I have a few cycling questions maybe someone can help me. I’ve been cycling my Orbit (jellyfish tank) tank for about a month. I did the shrimp method, and my ammonia spiked to 4ppm. Everything seem on track. However, testing a few times I noticed my Nitrite...

So i ventured back into coral on my tank like 6 months ago after a crash a while back from what i think was turkey salt. Tank is 2 years old and so far most of my coral are happy. I have a couple acros browning out (though me PE is great on almost everything, acros included) so i decided to get...
