This is my first time here, but I have probs with NO2 and NO3. Here is my set-up and levels....
ph 8.2, cal 450, amm below.25 but not quite 0, nitrates 10, nitrites .2
set-up: trickle filter w/bio-balls, protein skimmer, UV ster, chiller, 2 powerheads besides return head, 110 gal tank, PC w/moonlights. I hace a mixed live sand sub4 in", 100 lbs LR. Use carbon constant and supp w/kent products, phosguard bags, nitrate sponge. I am stocked with 1 unicorn tang 6", pink anthias 5", 4 perculas, 1 blue damsel(I know but couldn't get out after cycling 6 months ago and all is ok so far), a mandarin, 2 cleaner shrimp, 5 peppermint, 2 sandsifting starfish, 5 horseshoe crabs, 50 turbos, 75 hermits, 1 star polyp, and some common polys came on LR. I have done 50 gal worth of wtaer change w/mix Red sea and r/o water. I always top off with r/o. What could be the prob? I already had a battle w/ich and need to get this stuff down. I am using TheraP to try to get levels down, but it's not working. Any sugg? I am also getting a lot of green on my rocks that is starting to take over. Need help, thanks
