I hear you when you say just keep it 0 across the board. I would love to do that just haven't found the way to do that. I feed them sparingly (just what they can eat in about a minute or two) I just started to do water changes when i saw the nitrates go up. My LFS said i did not have to do any...

What are considered safe levels of nitrate all the way up to lethal levels of nitrates for your tank. I understand all other levels (nitrite and ammonia) should be zero, but i have been told some levels of nitrate are expected in your tank. Whats your opinions ?

check out the post listed Final Answer.... I posted the same kind of question and got a very good response.

well i do have the purple and i also see like a greenish blue as well, looks really nice and i have been using standard lighting, although i had been mixing the hours up slightly, i have been recently leaving them on between 7-9 hours. I guess it is trial and error, but so far so good. Thanks...

I hear that if crushed coral (base) is not properly maintained it can cause a nitrate spike, is this true ? If so, what is the proper maintenance for a crushed coral base to prevent such a problem.

Sepulation, what is the proper care you spoke of for crushed coral, i have crushed coral and my nitrate has shot up to 10 within the last week from 0, did a 10% water change, checked it later and it was still at 10. all other levels are right on the money. also is a shrimp helpful to lower the...
