My 29g biocube has been set up for about a year and a half and is connected to a 13 gallon refuge. My stocking list includes numerous SPS and soft corals, a flame angel, clownfish, and a andarin dragonet. Everything is looking great in the tank and nitrates do not seem to bother them, but I want the best quality water for my SPS.
So heres the deal, I had recently done a 20% water change for four days straight and on the fifth day, nitrates listed around 5-10 ppm still. Is there anything I should check for to get my nitrates down. I run carbon and phosphate remover in my refugium along with chaeto and mineral mud.
My parameters are
Calcium - 400
Magnesium - 1240
Alk - 9 DKH
Ammonia - 0
PH - 8.2
Nitrates - 5-10!!!
I will appreciate any help or if I should even worry about it, everything looks healthy.
Thanks,
