No worries. Sometimes I read these things and I start to get threads confused lol.

reefrunner69 said:If your using the API test kit for nitrate you need to divide the number by 4.4 to get the true nitrate reading. Also it will not read beyond 160 so you may be higher than you think.
Because it tests for a different form of nitrate and to remove the weight of the extra element you have to divide by 4.4.
I have verified it is at least 4 times higher than my aquarium systems test kit.
reefrunner69 said:If you read all the parts of the instructions they tell you to keep it below 40 ppm, seems high to me. API tests for total nitrate which includes oxygen other test kits test for nitrate nitrogen.
NO3. Vs NO-3-N
Basically you can adjust either. Using API keep nitrates under 40 or divide by 4.4 and keep them under 10 or vise versa with other test kits.

Are you using rodi waterRhino said:I am fixing to add my chemi pure elite and seachem purigen. This should help lower nitrates as well right?

Gregcoyote said:They can help, but just keep up with the water exchanges. That's probably all you need right now.
