My nitrates are still high. Over 100. I have removed all rock. Stirred the sand bed replaced 98% of the water. At the time of the water change they droped from 300+ to 50. I added new dry rock and did a couple more 25% water changes. Nitrates were still going up. No fish in the tank. I decided to try the AZ-NO3 product. Using it as directed and after 15 days I'm still over 100. My skimmer is working I am wet skimming like a tea color. It says 30 days on the bottle my question is should I see something now or does it take longer and drop fast once it takes hold. I have used 2 bottles and have 2 more to go.
Also since everything has been changed but the sand. Could that be my issue? I have been fighting this for 8 months I am starting to think I need to just start all over but can't afford to do that. My rodi water Is 0 tds top off is from the rodi. Nothing in the tank but a few snails and crabs. I'm just at a loss been doing this for 15 years and never had this issue.
