raising nitrates

[DEL]

ok. so lately my trachys and wellsos and acanthophyllias arent as puffy. I tested with the hannah as well as salifert kits, and I'm getting 0 nitrates. I currently run an algae scrubber, skimmer, uv, and phosphate reactor. what would be the safest way to raise my nitrates? oh, I feed LRS fish frenzy and reef frenzy, as well as NYOS pellets and TLF veggie flakes. my fish eat good!!

Turn off the scrubber for a couple days and test again

This is good advice! Also if that seems to work you can put the scrubber on a timer possibly and only run it a few hours a day.

I need to find someone like you around here who needs nitrates and phosphates. We could just swap some water....
