![]() Hi Christ5,
I have been doing quiite a lot of water changes lately and my filtered water wasn't that good so I changed filters (brands). I changed 15% wvwry 3 days for four weeks, that is when my nitrate climbed. The reason I done the changes was high Phosphate level. But that is now down to acceptable levels. I added some chaloupra the other day so maybe that will lower NItrate levels. I am getting impatient. Thanks for Replies Jim |

![]() Maybe try some Waving Hand Anthelia to start. It's easy, and takes up the Nitrates. It is invasive though, and you will want to keep it secluded to one rock, away from others. Then maybe some Shrooms, Ricordia included, allthough pricey. The Softies can handle higher nutrients. Make sure your source water is nutrient free, and if you can get the Nitrate down below 10ppm, proceed with the Stony Corals. How's the Frogspawn doing? If it's growing, that's a good sign, no matter what your test kit tells you.
