could be due to many reasons. maybe background info of your tank could help. for example. how long has it been set up, whats the nitrates, nitrites and ammonia readings.

Could be due to pests do you see any small insect like creatures crawling? best is take a torch light and check at night.

Bro, if you have NO2, that means your tank has not finished cycling yet... just hang on and wait till it becomes zero, then measure your NO3 and PO4... the more coral you add in now, the more dying coral you will have and the longer your tank will take to be ready...

From your post, N03 is 50ppm. Phosphate is 0ppm. This unbalance is an issue & may be the reason why your N03 remains high. This could be related to a phosphate binder added?

In my case, my GSP don't open when nitrate starts to creep past 30ppm.

From my understanding, there needs to be a 16:1 (Nitrate : Phosphate) relationship for the bacteria to process the waste nutrients effectively.

At such nitrate levels, at minimum, the phosphate needs to be detectable (not entirely 0). Do double check, else allow the phosphate to increase temporarily..

      WTS Tanks, Equipment

      Hey everyone, I've a set of many things to sell off as one set. The following are in this set: 1. Long fish tank, 90x30x30 - beautiful glass, well taken care of, no scratches 2. Standard fish tank, 60x45x45 - beautiful glass, as you can see, still with bottom and top cardboard covers. 3. Metal stand for the long tank - rusted by strong. Usable. Please note the width of this stand is 50, and the long tank's width is 30, so there's around 15 cm space. 4. Nano tank, well taken care of. Beautiful glass. (The gadgets in there all taken out, so just tank with it's back sump. 5. A baby tank 6. A bunch of stuff: - Tidal 35, Seachem filter - two oxygen pumps - plastic fish tank protein skimmer - portable fan - large wavemaker - 90x45 nice tank background poster - mini filters Basically what's in there + take. In the photos below, I've saved some pictures from when I purchaser them. These were all used for marine/saltwater fish - if you want to convert to others; simply wash (that's why I got these tanks, flexibility). I've used them for a year or less. Selling since these are in my office, and we have settled on one custom size. And we may be moving. Need to send these off. Would prefer someone to take everything, clear everything. Only $220 for everything. If I see anything else I don't want laying around, I'll also pass to you. Self-collection/self pick up. Location: Indus Road, ground floor. PM me if keen, cheers!e0774394470a15537f6187c32e4cb04f.avif sg-11134201-22100-a8sr3atpx6ivfe.avif
