Guest Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 you can try using AZN03 , fastest reducer for N03 for me so far that i have tested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member teebs Posted February 8, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted February 8, 2010 Fastest way is to do a large water change. A 80% water change will drop your nitrates to 20ppm. Another 80% water change after the first one will drop your nitrates to 4ppm.

SRC Member teebs Posted February 8, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted February 8, 2010 you can try using AZN03 , fastest reducer for N03 for me so far that i have tested. AZ NO3 will need at least 2-4 weeks to be effective. And you need a really good skimmer for it to work well. This from my personal experience of using 3 bottles of AZ NO3 in 1.5 months and reducing my nitrates from 50~100 to 10~25ppm. Right now using Bio Clean, my nitrates have stabalised at between 2.5~5ppm regardless of how much feeding I do.

SRC Member Underwater Posted February 8, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted February 8, 2010 No immediate results but it works, can try Algae Scrubber. It works for me. http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=73162 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imcosmokramer Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 add a refugium, good skimmer, run gfo/carbon, you can also use chemi-pure elite. Quote see my tank's parameters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member desideria Posted February 8, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted February 8, 2010 you can try Seachem Purigen... I feed pellets and frozen food daily and my nitrates hover between 2.5 to 5ppm.
