Nitrates and Color/Growth

[E.litvin]

So I've been doing more research on nitrates because I've seen some reefer with amazing colors and very low nitrates and other reefers with very high nitrates (25-30ppm) also with great color. I know the lower the nitrates the better growth you'll likely get, but is there anyone out there running high nitrates that is getting good color and growth, and for the people running low nitrates what are you dosing that is giving you such good color, and are you getting great growth with low nitrates?

Hi there is a good thread running at the moment on here titled " we're should I keep my nitrates- " that is worth a read it might cover some of your questions.

Hope that helps justin
