Do you know what your nitrate readings are on that tank. What's the set up like? Ie: lights, ferts, co2, stock ect. [/font] |

| poisonwaffle Mega Fish Posts: 1397 Kudos: 591 Registered: 11-Feb-2003 | I just dissassembled the tank, scrubbed it down, and reset it up  I'm not sure what the nitrate levels were (I lost the color card to the test), but I'm guessing they were around 0 ppm...the tank was heavily planted... |
