Hey guys! Need a little help… I was doing my weekend maintenance and checked my parameters… nitrates are reading 0. I tested twice with a Red Sea test to make sure and got 0 both times. Everything seems happy right now but I want to get them up so avoid any future issues. Only thing I can think to do is increase feedings and maybe switch my filter sock changes from twice a week to once? Would that be the safest, gradual way to handle it? I used to feed twice a day pellets and seaweed pellets, and coral food/mysis twice a week, but I tended to be a heavy feeder and fed them once a day generously, then still the coral/mysis twice a week. Thoughts?

Hi all,

Wonder if you can help.

My tank at the moment is using KH like you wouldn’t believe. Levels I have never seen before.

I am currently dosing Red Sea Foundation B (image below), alongside foundation A and C.

My question, Is there a cheaper alternative available in the UK with the same quality? Or would anyone know a reason as to why the KH is depleting so quickly?

For reference, I like to keep the KH around 10 and dosing around 212ml per week to maintain this level! (via automatic daily dosing of 30ml)
