Hello, everyone
I am still suffering from high nitrates and each time I add a new coral they end up dying even softies. Everything inside the tank already is doing fine guessing everything has adapted to the high levels. My tank size is a 90 gallon and I did a 35-gallon water change on Nov 13th and tested the NO3 with my Salifert test kit and results were 100ppm. I did another 30-gallon water change on Sunday the 18th and tested today and I am still at 100 ppm. I also added some De-Nitrate on the 13th but hasn't really helped. Each time I did the water changes I made sure to clean the sand as much as I could. I want to try out the Red Sea NO3 test kit but don't want to drop 43 bucks. Anyone near Chicago that has the test kit that runs a test for me to see if there is a different result then the Salifetr test kit. Should I keep doing huge water changes weekly? Help, please.
