Do you guys have nitrate issue in your tank?
I am told some tanks have 0 nitrate without macro-algaes and massive daily w/c. I don't think they have deep sand bed in their tanks either.
My tank is 5 weeks old and I'm keep getting nitrate spike. I tested water last night and I got 25-30 ppm. I do 50% w/c weekly.
There are two small occ clownfish, one small cleaner shrimp and five mud snail (nassarius), probably only 2 or 3 left due to nitrate.
I even have cheatos in my HOB auqafuge. The fuge has been up and running for two days. There is a 15w Sunglo flourence light running 10 hours a day. I'm not sure it has enough light to keep the chaetos growing. The bulb was used on my freshwater tank. So far, I haven't seen any nitrate decrease.
