View Full Version : I finally Got my Nitrates Lowered

Well last week, after a partial water change, my Nitrates were 20PPM. I
did another partial WC and still was way to high. I tried Amquel +
but after 3 days of using it, the only thing I had was higher pH levels.
I reduced the water level to 40% of the normal level, then did a series
of several 50% changes until I got my Nitrate to 10 - 15 PPM. I then
added water to the tank to 75% level and another series of water changes
until I was at 0 - 5 ppm, then I filled the tank. My pH rose to 8.9 I
used some pH decrease and dropped to 7.8 I am now at 8.3 as of this
morning. My tank is beginning to get back to normal.
I'll be doing my partials more often then my normal 20 - 30 day intervals.

How often do you clean the neck in the skimmer?

rec.pond.moderated bunch for a blow job as they seem to be the best in
that field.

Any help is appreciated

Lately I've been cleaning just about every day, the collection of the
green goopy crap never accumulated that much but not its collecting a
lot more. I cleaned it last night and looks like it needs it again today.

I made the mistake thinking they worked better dirty. I just started
cleaning it reg and it makes a huge difference.
