Yes thats what they say but from 1st hand experience I never had
this
problem I set up a 10 reef tank that had 20lb LS/10lbs LR and a
ehiem
along with a backbac kimmer-nitrates never where a problem. I did
do
50% monthly water change , which in CA we can buy ocean water
for.30
cents a gal from our LFS-maybe thats why I did not have a nitrate
problem



Aye, a 50% water change would take of any nitrate issue I can think
of. g
