It s very normal bro. No3 is the outcome of ur cycling. So you need to do water change, or bio pellets, reef resh, carbon dosing. ...., many way to remove them.

AngGuKueh Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 wah no biopellet lei...I tot cycling would be jus as normal the nitrate should drop to 0ppm as there is nothing there. I only got few pack of ceramic ring inside and sponge filter inside the overflow compartment...no rock and sand yet that all Quote My 1st Tank (FOWLR) 4.5ft x 2.5ftx 3ft 15mm with Cabinet & Tank 2x Two Little Fishie 150 Reactor (Rowaphos & Rowacarbon) 1x Two Little Fishie 300 Reactor (Biopellet) Reef Octupos SRO-3000INT Skimmer Teco Chiller TR20 1/3hp with UV Vortech MP40ES Wavemotion JBJ auto top-up Eheim 1264 Return Pump 9 Stage Ro Water Neptunes Sys Aqua Controller (PH, ORP, Temp,Conductivity,Salinity and Email Alert) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Angel Keeper Posted December 20, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted December 20, 2014 It will drop to zero after about 2 years maybe? Then your bacteria of ammonia and nitrite would go back to zero... Then when you put livestock in, fishes will die cos there's no more bacteria to convert ammonia to nitrate to nitrate.
