True that 10ppm is nominal (actually even an SPS tank will do fine at 10ppm). But this was after 65g of water changes, so presumably the starting point is a fair bit higher. My experience with controlling nitrates with water changes is that it bounces back to where it was fairly quickly. The NO3 Destroyer product is cheaper than the extra salt.

And to be 100% clear the lobster thing is just a guess on my part. Maybe they're light on the bioload.
