OK TBS owners What is your nitrates running at

[snooter1]

Lets see those Nitrate readings. If at 0, please tell how you got there.

This is the first test in 2 weeks.
Am=0 yeah
PH=8?
nitrite=1-2
nitrate=50
I think I'll do a water-change sometime today.
I've had the second half in for about 3 weeks.
I got sick of doing tons of water changes and testing and decided to just let it run it's course. Ammonia had gone over 2!!
I just let the tank run and Everything is doing just great!!
I've fed 3 times so far with this frozen plankton krill mix from the lfs. and also target feed the anemones with raw shrimp.

Around 20. All of our nitrate readings for the past months have been between 10-20, actually. Everything in the tank is alive and thriving, so I'm not worried about it.

Can't get it anly lower than 20. Our nitrites are at .25, am is at 0. We are in week 4 after putting in the 2nd shipment. We do water changes every other day.

I'm at zero ppm nitrates. I have a plenum, a HOB refugium, and am relatively lightly stocked.

(Or, the 'b' hypothesis is that my test kit is defective )

I am at over three months and still cannot get it below 25-30 after a water change. It has been as high as 40. Everything is doing great. I am going to reduce my feeding to every other day to see if it will come down some.

I'm at zero ppm nitrates. Running a fuge / lightly stocked. Using Red Sea and FasTest kits.
