I tested nitrate tonight (Salifert) and it's hard to tell, in the regular test it looks like about 15-20 but high resolution test more like 10... so somewhere in there. I have cut my nopox dose by 90% from ten days ago, so that makes sense I guess. The reason I keep reducing is i have cyano getting worse, hoping to just keep rolling with it and hopefully it burns out. My tank looks like total crap right now though and I have had to back off my doser a bit since it seems growth is slowing too.  just have to keep telling myself to leave it alone. |
i find on my zeo reef that if i have a tinge of cyano goin on my tank corals are rockin. so im riding that edge for growth in lieu of aestetics until the reef fills in. if i know im having someone over i will back off on the zeostart and spongepower for a few days and the tank cleans up pretty quick. its really quite interesting and no matter how long i have done this im still learning something all the time. good luck n stuff.... zsu
