Before I ask the question of the century, let me give a background of my tank. Its a 29g Reef. At one point I had 8 fish in my little 29g, but after reading all the posts about how dumb that was. I watched all 8 fish die 1 at a time.
I had clowns, tangs, gobys, angels, and so on. Anyways.
My tank has been running fishless, for the past 2 weeks now. I have been doing my weekly water changes religiously (15% water change). The tank looks great. I will post an update here https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/273539/coolguys-29g-reef-with-alot-of-pics later.
Feeding: 1/2 cube Cyclopleeze + 1/2 cube Coralife Coral Food every 3 days.
I just did a water change (15%), Changed the filter media (every 2 weeks), of the HOB filter. Thouroughly cleaned the skimmer. And I just took a water test just right now:
Temp - 80.1
Specific Gravity - 1.027
PH - 8.2
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 20
Calcium - 440
dKH - 8
Phosphates - 0
So I think you can probably tell, the next question:
WHY DO I STILL HAVE NITRATES!!!!!??????!!!!!!
I took a test before the water change and it was close to 40-60ppm.......
I need help with this. Please.
