Check if you have anything dead/decaying in the tank.

 

[Jzhou]

How much of a water change did you do and how often do you do them

 

[Titorod23]

10 g

How big is the tank? Whats your nitrate test reading? Are you using ro water? How much do you feed?
We really can't help you without some more info

 

[Titorod23]

75 g ro water and read over 80

What test kit are you using?

 

[Titorod23]

Api

You must b feeding alot. Try stepping up your water changes to 15 gals per week and cut back on the amount of food you give at one time. Are you running a skimmer? Is it a reef tank or fish only?

 

[Titorod23]

I feed 1time a day and yes I have a skimmer And fish only

 

[fishman1069]

You really don't have to be too concerned about nitrates in a fish only. You could try adding a refugium or macros to the display

I think API nitrate test is not good, I used to get a reading of 80-100 ppm with fresh API and only 20- 25 ppm with Salifert, still high but a big deference. Try another test kit.

W/C, organic carbon dosing, reduce feeding, skim wet. This should reduce your nitrates.. HTH

2 50% back to back water changes did the trick for me.
