I need to move my 180gal tank due to some remodeling. I have setup a 55gal
tank to hold 5 fish and the live rock. I used RO water, added salt, put a
new bag of CaribSea SuperReef Sand (after rinsing). I put 6 oz of sand from
the 180gal tank to move some bacteria and other animals to the new sand. I
move a Fluval 303 filter from the 180gal tank to the 55gal tank.
When I tested the water I am shocked to see - Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate
80, Ph 8.2, SG 1.022. I did not expect the Nitrate to be that high. I have
tested it 3 times and using 2 kits.
