    Be careful not to overdose as it can have a negative impact on your tank. 0-5pps nitrates is acceptable don't over chase it. Have you tried using a different test kit? Steve

    Sorry to hear about this sonny but it sounds like everything is ok. I have tried both tunze and vortech and I have to say that i like tunze much better. I like the ability to adjust the ph in many directions. Plus the vortechs are much nosier imo. I picked up 2 6305's and 2 6301's for my new...
