Nitrate!

Don't the live rock and sand cycle out nitrate as well? I don't know how much, but I'm hoping small water changes will take the edge off until the protein skimmer & bacteria can do their job done. That claim was made in another thread, but I've not seen this in my tank. Nitrates do get pulled out by plant matter, which is why many people keep mangroves in a refugium. George Patterson Forgive your enemies. But always remember who they are.

Have pretty good roots. Cindy
