after going nearly insane for months, it "appears" that I have found my problem with my Acro tips receding, bleaching, or sloughing, & then, eventually dying. The test kit that I was using over the past year was showing 0 trates for the last 9 months. (It was showing nitrates in the 5-20 range the first 3 month, however).
I tested trates about 3 weeks ago with Salifert, and it showed 25!!!!!! So for the past 6 months, I can only guess that my trates were between 25-80!!!!!!
trates are down to 5 right now, & I expect them to be 0 soon as I am using AZ-NO3.
other parems are as follows:
temp: 80
Salt: 1.26
phosphates: .008
Calcium: 440
Alk: 9.0 / 3.2
Mag:1500
1) would sky high trates cause the tips to do that?
2) if you have used AZ-NO3 before, what do you think? Also, were all fish, Acro's, inverts ok?
Thanks A lot for your feedback!
