Quite simple really, we don't know how high his nitrates were before today, also starting very low in ml will take longer to have a positive effect.

I don't think the high nitrates are the cause but the very high alk is a big concern for me, on the Hanna it came out to 11 .7 twice and his calcium was under 350ppm we don't know if it fluctuates either.

This can cause problems when running pellets or any carbon dosing really.
