    Nitrates in stores saltwater. How

    So now I’m thinking here when I do the water changes with the buckets. After emptying water from tank into the bucket I just add salt and RODI to empty bucket dump in brute and let mix. I’m wondering if the residual that’s in the bucket could be my reason for nitrates, but 60 ppm seems pretty...

    Nitrates in stores saltwater. How

    No solenoid I just have the line off of the DOS into the Brute to transfer the new water to the tank. I have not used it in a while though. Been doing 15 gallon water changes with buckets. The other pvc is hooked up to a mag pump and that fills up my bucket with the flip of a switch. The back...

    Nitrates in stores saltwater. How

    All of my other Hanna testers are spot on. Not saying this one is not but I am confused. How can I have nitrates in storage water. Could that have anything to do with the fact I’m using Reef Crystals?

    Nitrates in stores saltwater. How

    I just got a Hanna HR nitrates checker and it has been reading 75+ when I test my tank water. I know API not the best but when I test with that I get about 20ppm maybe a little higher Not sure what’s going on so I decided to test my storage water using both the Hanna and API. HANNA gave me a...

    Free Red Cap - Point Pleasant

    Thanks again for everything Thanks for the help with some of my issues. Think I’m gonna give the All for Reef powder a shot. Based off of the calculations the 800g container dosing the minimum of 25ml should last me 16 months.

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    I’ve been dosing 5 ml for 1 week. Not much increase in skimmate yet, but I dosed very conservatively based off of the recommendation of NOPox. I Should be dosing 3 ml per 25 based on my nitrate reading. I figured I would start with 1ml. I think I should be ok if I bump up to 2 per 25. I will run...

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    So I just picked up a Hanna nitrate checker and tested my water. 75 was the blinking number I got which indicates out of range so I still have high nitrates. I don’t know what is going on with my nitrate issue considering I’m also running a fuge with Chaeto. I upped my carbon dosing to 10 ml a...

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    Ok was looking at wrong post. Yes mine does look like that but like I said a little more on the brown side. Not nearly as bad as you have it but like you said nothing works on it. I have resorted to scrubbing and siphoning. I also took one of the rocks out and sprayed with peroxide. That did the...
