I have a 15G coral QT and I do 10% WC almost daily. I also feed the corals about once per week. Filtration is a HOB filter with a few small pieces of LR and one inch of LS. My nitrates are normally 15-20 ppm and my phosphates are .1-.2 ppm. The nitrate/phos tests are taken about 24 hrs after I do the WC. I am experiencing some algae growth due to the nitrates.
What is the best way to reduce and control nitrates and phosphates in a small coral QT? Can I take some of my cheato from my DT fuge and put it in the QT to help control nitrates? I have the opposite problem in my DT....nearly zero nitrates and zero phosphates (Hanna).
Thoughts?
