Conquering High Nitrate Levels in My Coral Reef Aquarium: Problem Solved!

[@76honda76]

My nitrate is at a constant of 24.5-25 for a year. Things are thriving.

[@CoralsReef24]

I've been noticing when my nitrates are that high that the Hermit Crabs and Turbo snails die off faster. Now I got the nitrates under control and it is under 10 PPM.

Amazing tank! Hope it flourishes for longer

[@saggitariolover]

The problem is that too many fishes polute the water faster. And then all pollutions makes the alkalinity unstable. I love how. Nice your tank looks

[@CoralsReef24]

Thanks! I appreciate the compliment. It's true, maintaining a balanced aquarium environment can be tricky, especially with a lot of fish.

I'm currently dosing micro bacter 7 and micro fuel . Just upgrade the skimmer for better fit. Do you guys know any way to improve my water quality ? My softy just shrinking and LPS like tourch begin to loose color . If you know how or diagnose the problem please help thank you all 🎉🎉

What was your phosphates before and after the Red Sea Algae Management?

[@CoralsReef24]

0.09 and after 0.16 did not work for me.

Dose some iron for the chaeto

[@CoralsReef24]

Yes, you're right. I need to get a test kit and check the iron levels. Thanks for reminding me!

15 nitrates is low compared to my reefs lol

[@CoralsReef24]

Yeah, I'm bringing my nitrates up a little bit.

[@soarer209]

thats what i was thinking during this whole video? like 15-18 is literally helllla low compared to others...

[@CoralsReef24]

@@soarer209 For years, I've endured pressure from others insisting that I lower my nitrates level, claiming it was excessively high. Now, after 15 years, I've managed to reduce it. Surprisingly, the community here is suggesting that there was never a need for such action, stating that 15 ppm is perfectly acceptable. I'm grateful for everyone's support, including the valuable assistance received on my KZbin channel. Thank you all.

@@CoralsReef24 you're doing a good job just remember stability is key. If your tank looks great with 15 nitrates leave it alone.
