Welcome Sounds like you are taking the steps to lower them. Water changes and good test kits are your best friend right now. Best of luck

Thanks, today the nitrates are down to 19. I use Hanna HR nitrate & phosphate checkers. I think the refugium to starting to help out too!

I have a newer 125 gal saltwater aquarium with a 30 gal sump, this is my largest tank yet & first time sump.
I have a nitrate spike because purchased 4 new fish & 1 died in aquarium & could not find it to remove.
My nitrates were at 60ppm 1.5 weeks ago. Did a 25% water change, that brought it down to 20ppm. I started using NoPox to lower nitrates. My phosphates are at 0.00. I have a 1.5 gallon refugium in my sump that I started about 3 weeks ago. How long before I start to see my nitrates come in line?
Also should I use a beneficial bacteria like Dr Tims One & only, will that help?
