Water Change Question

[klasiksb]

I've had high NO3 for along time. I've read this from Melev and thought about trying it.

But then figured since I have a Litermeter3, why not get the water change module and use that do perform daily changes until all the water was changed. Would that in turn do the same thing as the article above? Or would the full water change have to be completed several times to lower the no3?

That arcticle was great, I think I am going to try this method. I will let you know how it works, or post here and let me know if it worked for you. I would thinkt the litermeter option would be different than what melev was talking about but might also work being every day.

Well as a service tech to lower your no3 you can do so safely by changing water in a substancial amount meaning about 35% of water weekly that should take care of you're problem but also make sure filters are replaced bioballs are removed if you have any & then take a hose & suction out the water from that section. Remember any area that has bioballs also has waist .

Oops meant waste ! Also try not to change all the water completely as to by doing so you will be starting from scratch remember live bacteria is in there so gradually is better.
