hk/alk and nitrate problem
- Thread starter speedykeys
- Start date
The alkalinity is quite high, but that's not bad. I do know that there is a problem with some Salifert alk kits being contaminated, and testing much higher than actual - check with another brand, just to be sure...
Your high nitrate level (if accurate) indicates that either your tank has not matured enough, and/or it has a bio-load which is higher than your filtration can handle. Either way, your best bet for long-term success would be to remove some inhabitants (return to LFS ?) and do larger (20% - 25%) water changes. Oh, and perhaps add or upgrade your skimmer and add a refugium with a deep live sand bed.
