nitrate Question

[surferido]

my tank since i last posted has been 15ppm. is that bad if it is stable at that number. my nitrites are at 0 my ammonia is 0 and my ph is fine

15 is not terrible. Do you have the biocube 29?

 

[dustin_P74]

anything under 25ppm is fine for fish and softies but if you were to get into SPS and some LPS then it would be way to high

 

[Bifferwine]

That's fine. If you want it lower, bump up your water changes.

water changes

Yep.Water changes.Even though 15ppm aint that bad,10 to 0ppm would be even better.

Water changes yes......
Using a skimmer is even better.

When I first got my skimmer, I was running 15-25ppm consistently.
Ever since the skimmer, 0ppm.

I water change every other week (lazy).

Have to agree. Water changes will bring it down.
