Thanks ahead of time for an help! I recently aquired a 225g salteater tank from a family member. In its hayday it was an awesome tank but after a death in the family the tank died as well ie: completely neglected. Anyway I brought it home cleaned it, the substrate (crushed coral) the live rock ( was covered in algae) and the sump. I used no chemicals during this just scrubbed. I set the tank back up and got my salinity to where it should be and tested my water all readings are good except nitrate is off the chart. Should I just let it go for awhile? Its been running for about a week. Again thanks for any help I get
