Week 6 update
welp I think/hope i found my where my nitrates were coming from. I had 20lbs of crushed coral as the substrate in my fuge, which after about 2 years was pretty nasty but being way at the bottom I never really could see it to tell....and totally forgot it was there.
Anyway I sucked all that crap out(crushed coral included), dunked off all the rocks in the fuge, and did a nice 30% water change and my nitrates went down to 15ish and havent spiked back up to the 30's.
So im hoping they go back down to the 5-10 where they used to be and the RDSB will take care of the rest...i hope
