 Re: Nitrate fix
When you add a chemical to any other chemical be it in an aquarium or chemistry lab you always create a third chemical or compound.Chemicals like algone remove nothing from the tank.They bind nitrates into a chemical soup,and only temporarily.The chemical soup will soon break down and release the nitrates back into the tank.If you have high nitrates do the right thing and eliminate the source.Improve your skimmer efficiency,cut back on the feeding,reduce your bio load to reasonable levels increase the amount of live rock or sand in the tank.If you dont,soon enough your nitrates will be right back where they started and you will need more allgone.Please dont ener into this vicious cycle.You can actually eliminate a problem instead of covering it up. |
