Just curious, but why are doing so many water changes?

They are my wife's tanks but she kept killing the coral. So i started
checking the nitrates daily. The nitrates would go to 40 ppm every couple
of days. So I slowed down the feeding by 1/2 but it's still is getting
dirty too fast. Everything is healthy now but it's costing me a small
fortune in salt. I use RO water and it has been tested.

Any suggestions are welcome.


This guy is a member of this newsgroup and often has TONS of info, here's
one of his Nitrate article.. its very useful

Also, how much water are you changing each time you do your partials?

Good luck
