Hey every one!
Ok so I though I was having Nitrate issues but not I'm not sure... My Salifert kit says I have 50ppm and my API says I have 0ppm. Both kits are about a year old so I went out and got 3 new test kits, here are my results:
New Salifert read 25ppm
New API read 0ppm
and New Elos read 1ppm
Can the Salifert kit be that off? Is API just as good as the Elos?
I've been carbon dosing like a mofo and been doing large water changes (30G's in a 225G) I've also been running 2L of zeolith rock in a reactor with very little flow. My skimmer is an Alpha 200 and has been producing lots of skimate. I'm Noticing that my corals have been coloring up too and I've been getting massive polyp extention, this is why I wan to believe the API and Elos readings... what do you guys think?
