Charlene1028 Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 The nitrates in my 75 gallon salt water tank are really high...The tank is around a year old and Ive done some water changes and thats not brought it down much at all..Ive also added a nitrate sponge yesterday.. I tested this morning and theyve come down very little ..Is there anything else I can do or do I have to wait and see?? Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 Just do more partial waterchanges. Do one every other day if you have to. What are you levels? Link to comment
Charlene1028 Posted September 25, 2001 Author Share Posted September 25, 2001 There at about 70...how much water should I change ...I heard if u changed to much it would set your tank back..{meaning it would deplenish some of your bacteria in the tank that helps with nitrates. Link to comment
