Hello all, I have a BC14 I started about 6 months ago and have upgraded the lighting to trulumen LEDs, intank basket, mj900 pump and koralia 240. I have also recently started using BRS Rox .8 and their GFO in filter bags. My question is, is my water too clean. Should I run only 1/2 their recommended doses?
My parameters are all pretty stable: CA- 400, Alk- 8, Nitrate - 0,
PH- 8.1, Mag- 1300
But I have seen that my Nitrite is anywhere from 2.0-5.0....can't figure out why.... Have 2 clown fish, a tailspot blenny, cleaner shrimp and CUC (snails and crabs). Nobody has died yet. Have done lots of water changes, but cannot get nirtites to zero. It goes down to 1.0 or 2.0...then rises again.Any ideas?
Thanks
Klems
