• high nitrates need advice

  • Derek7322

Good evening, forum members! I need advice: could the nitrates spike due to the coal that has been in the aquarium for two months instead of one?

Earl

Most sorbents have the property of releasing the accumulated substance in a sudden manner after saturation.

Joe

Regular siphoning and replacements. And happiness will be yours.

Brooke

I have been doing 30% water changes for the second week now, and the nitrates are at 100 mg/l. I only removed the carbon yesterday; I forgot about it!

Soil siphoning and substitutions are somewhat different things. Your nitrates are high. Max - 50 mg/l.

How do I siphon the sand from the soil?

Catherine6534

I don't know. I don't use sand. It settles quickly and the roots of the plants rot. I have a fraction of 4-6mm and everything is fine. It's been five years without a restart.

Do you have freshwater or sea?

Do you have freshwater or sea? Miracles on February 23rd...

What kind of "siphon" can there be in the sea? Are you serious? Now, let's get to the point. We need to start from the beginning. What water do you use for topping up? How do you feed? What is the quantity of corals? In general, all of this needs to be taken into account. Also, take a look here:

I agree! Sorry, I didn't see that it was about the sea. Yesterday

Nothing happens!

To determine, you need to at least see your system in a photo. You can change the water endlessly and pour in different chemicals, and it may not help.
