Hi everyone,
I just took my nitrate reading and it's showing bright red with the API test kit. I remember reading something that you need to divide this number by something to get your true reading. Can someone help me out. I am running 54g reef set up over 3 years and have never had this issue. I have a wet dry trickle filter and am running chemi pure and gfo in the bag under the drip plate. All coral seem to be extending and polyp are out. Just did a 10% pwc on Sunday.
I am kind of freaking out. Test kit could be a year old, and I did the test twice to make sure I didn't add too much and test wrong. I shook the bottles for a while too as I heard that you should do that.
Omg, what is going on!!!
