Hi
Im a newbie to marine (about 4 months), I was hoping someone could please tell me the maximum level of nitrates my reef tank should be subject too. I have read 3 books and there seems to be some conflict. I was also wondering why the JBL nitrate test kit shows my tank water at 1 mg/l and the sera nitrate test kit tests the same water at 10mg/l? is there possibly a 10x factor I am not aware of? How much faith should one put into the accuracy of these test?
many thanks
