Well I just tested for Nitrates after a partial tank crash and I am scared. 80+ppm on Nitrates!! Very little phosphates. I just added some corals so the sand got stirred up a bit. But I usually have 0 Nitrates. I am thinking that I can no longer rely on Cheato alone.
I looked at some older threads from this club and saw people moving to Biopellets. I need to make this move quick if it is the best thing for my system. Biopellets looks promising but I need advice.
Also I need a better test kit for Nitrates and phosphates. I have two API kits. I tested the water three times for Nitrates because the test tube turned blood red before I finished shaking it. Three tests with three different results. I need something more reliable.
I have a 120 drilled with a 30 gallon sump/Refugium w Cheato. ASM G-3 protein skimmer. Mixed reef with a high bioload. I don't plan on changing the bioload.
