how exactly would you do that just break it off @ the branch or something else?
do you have any suggestions for getting nitrates down, its at about 20-40 (never over 40 but not usually under 20, it been like this for 2 weeks) I have done water changes every 2 or 3 days about a gallon each time and i have even tried kent nitrate remover. can u suggest anything else thanks

P.S. I am new to saltwater and this forum any help on anything is much appreciated

you cut off a branch with scissors and then scrape off a little bit of the flesh on the bottom, then super glue it to a piece of rock.
To reduce your nitrates try changing about 2 or 3 gallon every couple of days. Are you using tap water or RO/DI?

Well when I started the tank (before I saw this forum) I was using tap but then I started using RO/DI (MUCH BETTER
)
Thanks for your help Ill try that tonight and let you know how it goes
