Hello everyone!
I know it's been quite a while since I've posted but I'm back! Hope everything is going well with everybody. i've had some major changes in the last few years which unfortunately effected my tank . However just today I completely tore down the tank, cleaned, new sand added some fresh live rock and the fish are sitting in a container ready to go back in their home.
My only concern is the fact they're going to be going from extreme nitrates in excess of 200+ to hardly any nitrates. Ive been trying to acclimate the water they're in now but I can't seem to get the nitrates down. Will it be an issue to go ahead and move them over from high to low nitrates?
This hasn't been a problem for me in the past but the aquarium store ī go to seemed to think it could be a problem.
Most of my fish are hardy and strong but I do have an emporer angelfish (yeah I'm not sure how he survived for a year in high nitrates.) he's big and beautiful and it would kill me to loss him.
Please help me and advice so I can get them back into their home safely. Thanks.
Steve
