Well, I never had this problem in my 29 because of the lower light, low light plants, and high fish load.....I always had plenty of 'trates......matter of fact, I had to step up PWC's to keep them under control in there. My 55 is another story. It has PC lights and fast growing nitrate suckers and pretty low fish load for now. Give me some recommendations on adding 'trates to this tank. I'm afraid my plants are going to suffer. I do plan on adding some more fish, but with the plant load I have, I'm not it's going to help. My 'trates are at 0 ppm right now along with the ammonia and nitrites, and yes, the tank is cycled. HELP! Tank specs: 55 gal, planted with lots of hygro (sunset & polysperma) 3 amazon swords, red rubin sword, cabomba, jungle vals, E. tennellus, foxtail, other stuff I can't think of right now. Fish load: 4 young anglefish, 2 blue rams, 3-4 ignorant adutl platies and their ubiquitous fry (about 5 or 6 babies).
