thumpersalley Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 The nitrates are up in my tank but the ammonia & nitrites are at 0. PH is 7.8. How do I get the nitrates down, just keep doing water changes? Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowman Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Water changes should help with the nitrates. How high are the nitrates? How long since your last water change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpd4308 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Also less feeding and good protein skimming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Reef Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Anyone notice where their PH is at? Please raise it to around 8.1-8.4 If you have a dKH test kit and dKH Buffer get around the 9-13dKH area. It should fix the PH problem.
