Posted	high nitrates
07-10-2006 18:47 by gavster	my nitrates are sky high every thing else is as normal ,i did get a load of xenia off a mate and some did dye off as i have seen the odd bit lying in the sand im just wondering if this is the reason for the nitrate?
07-10-2006 19:19 by Jake Casson	How high is sky high, you will always have nitrate....?
07-10-2006 20:19 by KOBISKYE	how often do you do water changes?
07-10-2006 20:49 by trik	as jake says how high is high, and on marine you can get ZERO nitrate, as far as our test kits go. i cant see a problem with the xenia , how old is your test kit?
08-10-2006 16:39 by Bruce	Dos ome daily water changes and if it's a new tank add, a old filter for some bacteria
09-10-2006 09:26 by Alan	Bruce I would disagree with you suggestion adding additional filtration would jusrt produce more nitrate. Gavster what is your set up give a full over view of equipment stock and live rock if possible. Incidentally my reef is run on an eco method and my nitrates at there highest hit 5 ppm and this is just after I have trimmed back the algae in my algae scrubber the norm of 0 ppm. The dead coral is a distinct possibility.
