If I get them growing again, you can definitely have a frag. ]]> Sun, 07 Jun 2015 16:40:33 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=76311&PID=593325&title=high-nitrates#593325 <![CDATA[High nitrates : Way jealous of your hammer.

Way jealous of your hammer. I think that's the only color I don't have! Seconded on the consistency and stability part as well. ]]> Sun, 07 Jun 2015 15:41:44 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=76311&PID=593323&title=high-nitrates#593323 <![CDATA[High nitrates : This looks fantastic.

Thank you, we're trying.

Most of those products will "remove" nitrate but that's usually only by a means of detoxifying it. Between 10-20 should continue to drop as you start a good water change schedule and remove any crap that's coming in with what you're feeding. My nutrient levels (Phosphate especially) start to creep up if I don't rinse frozen food first, or if I feed any pellet food (for corals) for any extended period. It seems like you have a handle on things I apologize for the long post I hope things continue to improve. Keep us updated!

We have a lot of live rock in the tank, approximately 60 to 80 lbs.
our nitrates have come down to between 10 and 20 with many water changes,and no more flake food. We are going to try some de*nitrate today, as soon as we figure out how to use it.]]> Sun, 07 Jun 2015 13:45:24 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=76311&PID=593310&title=high-nitrates#593310
