My tank is 55 gallons with fish and corals in it the nitrtaes are around 20ppm and it has been up and running for about 4 months. The fish and corals look healthy I'm gonna buy a new test kit to make sure the readings are matching. I dont have any SPS in there yet, I wanna make sure before I put them in..... Can my nitrates be this high? I'm assuming no.
The fish include:
1 maroon gold striped clown
1 lawnmower blenny
1 blue chromis
1 blue yellowtail damsel
1 blue tang
1 diamond watchman goby
There are a few corals, 2 brains, 1 mushroom rock, 2 torch, 1 plate, 2 clams, 1 polyp rock and a few other small pieces that i cant name off hand.
There are numerous different kinds of cleaners also in my tank....
I plan to add more things slowly but surely and was wondering if anyone new if the sps would last with nitrates at 20ppm.
I changed 3 days ago from a Coralife super skimmer to a Tunze 9010 (i finally see what a real skimmer works like). Will my nitrates go down a little and will my water quality be better now that I switched to a REAL skimmer.
Thanx DRU
