okay i got a NEW red sea marine lab test kit.... ammonia = 0, pH 8.2, nitrate 50+, alk 1.6, and nitrite at less than .05... what is the freakin problem? i only have 2 fake clowns, 1 cleaner shrimp, 1 yellow wrasse, 1 turbo snail 2 nassarius and like 10 hermits and corals. i have 3 sps coral... of which they are nicely colored and the polyps are out. other corals are doin well.
i added in some " amquel +" to help a little bit and i did a 5 gallon change 3 days ago.
i threw in cheato in the sump... nothings helping. i have to get a new light for my sump as the last 1 was givin out electricity into the water.
can it be that my LR in the display is causing the nitrate problem? can it be the "LR" in my sump which is beige color... doesnt look so live to me..?? i mean EVERYTHING IS FINE exept for teh NITRATE!
