Default Nitrate!

Best thing for Nitrates is macro algae. They will absorb it (it's a
fertilizer)

If you have a lit sump or refugium, put some Chaetomorpha or Calurpa in
it (Calerpa pulls the niates down faster, IME)

Or you can stick either straight in your tank if you have no sump or
fuge. Problem is your livestock may munch on it (less so with the caheto
than the calerpa, but I have seen tangs munch on chaeto...)


Thanks! I'm working on a refugium setup. I thought I could postpone
it, but in for penny in for a pound. I was hoping to feed my tang out
of it, so that's good news.
