Slow or No Growth

[MHG]

So i amateur .50 nitrates and I am seeing good results....

got to love that autocorrect spelling... Well as my nitrates go up so does my growth rate..... As soon as I notice a drop of in growth, I measure my nitrates and sure enough they are back to zero.... Gonna incrase the feeding again... That as well as regular water changes and gravel cleaning seems to be giving me the best results...

Be cautious of the phosphates though. Increased feeding can increase phosphates and I don't know of any corals that like hight phosphates. Then cyno bacteria love phosphates as well as red light.

Phosphates are easily keeps to undetectable with GFO and regular gravel vacuuming.... I also switched to HC GFO and its been great... But good point...

Brightwell now sells nitrate in a bottle for just this problem. There is one problem though... No one sells it....
