I was wondering what is my best way to go and lower my nitrates? Nitrates are around the 80+ range. I think its the way I have my rocks laid out in my reef. I just don't think I get enough flow in and around my rocks.
plan 1 was to take everything out and stir up the sand real good and then redo my aqua-scape.
Plan 2 just do a large water change and try and blow off anything on the rocks
Plan 3 take out a few gal of water and add it back to the tank a few times.
I don't want to do any vodka method and the chemicals I have don't seem the help much. I tried the instant ocean nitrate reducer, I added prime to the tank and also used Kent nitrate sponge along with a few water changes.
My tank is a 37gal reef with mushrooms, star polyps, some lps and 1 sps.
If anyone has a better way please let me know!!!
