    Nitrates

    Actually doing a little reef chil and mysis mix for a suncoral I am trying to nurse back. Currently about 4-5 heads and all are transparent. Feeding at night when most others are sleeping except the stupid shrimp. So annoying...

    Nitrates

    I found myself in the same boat. Early on I was trying to raise cheato algae. Super unsuccessful. It would just waste away. No kidding. Not enough nutrients. I was getting my glass covered overnight/2 days with diatoms. Zero/low nitrates and phosphates under 0.25. use API/Red Sea...so eye ball...

    Nitrates

    I dose 100 ml of neonitrates and still dont get too high of a reading but no diatoms or anything showing up, so a necessary evil till I can tweak things I guess. Seems silly adding nitrates when so many kill em selves trying to export.

    Anyone in North NJ growing their own pods cultures?

    Dose the phyto? Or grow pods to add? My nitrates are always 0. Even with heavier feeding and no skimmer on. If I feed too much or use reed roids my phosphates skyrocket along with the nitrates. So I found myself adding a few capfuls of NeoNitro to try and artificially raise my nitrates...

    Anyone in North NJ growing their own pods cultures?

    Reason I ask is...I feel that is the next stage in my self culturing progression. I have had success with the Phytoplankton Nannochloropsis oculata cultures. If anyone local to the Dumont 07628 area would like to trade some pods or even corals for either 16 ounce, 2 liter, or even gallons of...
