    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?

    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.

    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...

    GFO not lowering phosphates

    Yours looks like it could be Dino’s. What I did to best that was 3 day blackouts and leave the tank as dirty as possible to outcompete the Dino’s. Took me about 2 months to beat
