I'm trying to lower high nitrates in my 75 gallon. I have been doing frequent small water changes. Filter has been cleaned and some media swapped out.
I was planning on making this a planted tank so it has a Flourite substrate. No plants ended up in the tank because the red eyes eat them all.
I am assuming the Flourite is a nitrate rich substrate for plants so since I have no plants it could be a Spurs of my nitrate problem.
Can anyone confirm this? Don't want to take on a substrate change of I don't have to but....
Thanks!!
