Nitrates suck! Mine were at almost 80 at one point. I can keep then between 10-20 now thanks to my skimmer, fuge and Kents Pro-Amonia Detox lol. I can tell you spend time on those photos as good as they look. Mine are easy to upload though, I host them out of my house lol. (maybe that why they dont show up half the time ) Link to comment
pismo_reefer Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Nitrates suck! Mine were at almost 80 at one point. yes, they do..... and HOLYCRAP! 80ppm!? ive never even got a FW tank to go that high in nitrates! (and ive NEGLECTED a FW tank or 2 ) edit: my nitrate 'spike' is because of the heavy fish bioload in the new tank. it'll go back down to zero soon. i suppose that you could call it the tail end of the mini-cycle.

Yea I overfed for a bit before I noticed (me=idiot). Nothing died but I had a horrible ciano outbreak. The average was 40 but it topped off at 80. Thats when I got the Pro-Amonia Detox and started weekly water changes. That was a while ago now and it's been at about 10-20 ever since. Link to comment

pismo_reefer Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 on another note, would u say that the 2x24w t5ho are very good for ur sps corals? simply put....No. im either upgrading to a 4x24w T5HO fixture, or just adding a 70w halide.... Woah that lephastrea frag is off the chain. i know right?! bluenassarius really knows how to grow 'em......im just sad that the blue one died out. Link to comment
