| so i have a 75 gal tank. with 2 tangs (yelow and salfin) 2 tellow tail damsels, 2 clowns and a file fish. ok cleaner crew (need to get more) but my nitrate and ph levels are high. now i have done 3 25 gal water changes i the last 4 weeks ( dont want to over stress the tank) now i have been able to bring the levels down a lil but not to much. any body have any ideals on what else i could do to lower them. i dont want my corals to die and they seem to be doing ok right now but its just a matter of time. |

I would not spend money on any more products/supplements. The answer is right underneath your nose, but it's not easy to see. If you would like to post a pic of the tank, it would help for us to see what you are working with. We can give you some very helpful and specific help, but we need more info. Please tell us the N pollution actual numbers, how old the tank is, how it is set up and describe the filtration. ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member
