FOWLR Nitrates Survey

[shoimen]

What are your average 'trates in your FOWLR tanks??
Mine fluctuate between 20 and 40 and I dont seem to have any problems.
I am just curious what others have observed.

12.5-25
what is a safe limit, by the way?

Mine stay around 20. For FO and FOWLR I think the limit is around 30. When you go to a reef system it should be 0.

I've heard you don't want to go above 40 in FOWLR. Getting down to zero and maintaining it can be tough with some systems. I just started to covert to reef and am currently (luckily) at 0.
