Ok...now here's an interesting question. Has anyone tested their water parameters after dosing seachem fluorish?

I did a large water change on Saturday. Today I dosed ~ 4ml of flourish in the 46 tank. I was of course supposed (or meant to at least) test the water before dosing. Anyway, I tested it about two hours after dosing. What I found interesting was the Nitrate level sitting at about 40. While its not in alarm....it is rather high. The only inhabitant is the plec.

Just curious.

Read the bottle

Total N = 0.07%

Derived from: blah, blah, Protein Hydrolysates.

Protein Hydrolysates = organic compounds including Nitrates.
