Aquarium Advice Regular
Checking paramaters t'day.......
nitrite 0
ammonia 0
nitrate 10
ph 7.9
ca 425
Spacificy gravity 1.02
I have a 55gal, 80lbs of live rock, bout 5 lbs live rubble in the sump getting some more this weekend, have been slowly removing my bioballs...have about 25% left. Running a protien skimmer, and have a DSB. Wondering why my nitrates haven't dropped, been hovering at 10 ppm even before I started removing the bio balls. USe ro/di for topoffs, and instant oceans for water changes. Also my ph is a little the low side. What would be the best way to bring it up?? Thought the DSB acted as a ph buffer.
Tank has been running for 8 months, hoping to get everything just right so i can get some corals.
Thanks
