Nitrate and hitchhiker problems

Postby pihostudios » Tue May 06, 2014 2:46 pm

magandang araw po ulit mga reefers. tanong ko lang po kung papano ko maibababa yung nitrates ko? 25 - 30% water change ako using NSW weekly and ganun pa din everytime mag test ako ng parameters. ok naman lahat mataas lang yung nitrates. and isa ko pa pong problema ay mga alimango na nag burrow sa sand. bumabagsak ang mga live rocks ko kasi pumapasok sila sa baba. ano po kayang magandang gawin? patulong naman po and my tank is almost 5 months now. Thanks sa mga reply niyo.

How high is your NO3? You need to find the source why your nitrate is high and then work on it. E.g. feeding habits, stocking, nutrient export method, water source, etc.

For the crabs, remove them? If you fancy them, then only option is for you to glue your LRs to each other. :mrgreen:

My nitrate is 40ppm. Ok naman source ng NSW ko kasi tinetest ko muna bago lagay eh. Stock ko ngayon medjo dumami na... I'll let my ls settle first then mag uupdate ako. Thanks sa help sir... :D
