Great series! Learning so much. Question- I have an algae issue in my tank. Green algae. Pls explain more about why would my algae get worse if my Nitrate is 0 and I do a water change?Thank you
I love these videos. I grew up watching Mrsaltwatertank on RUclips and he taught me how to run my system the right way. 15 or so years later we are still moving super grateful for you all!
best way by far,having kept large angelfish tanks over the years with 100ppm at times i had tried everything you can imagine nothing works very well ,current 800gallon until.....batch denifrification i have a seperate 50 gallon water tank which is dosed with 10ml of methanol,changed once every 8 hours on a simple timer with pump so 150gal per 24hr period nitrates are 2ppm.
i tested my water for the first time and the only issue i had was having nitrate 1.1 the guy told me to buy live rock and keep it for a week to see if the nitrate cancel or something like that
I use Vodka for carbon dosing & its work great pass 2 years & recently I started using chaetos in sump & rowaPhos in reactor. tank is perfect now.. 0.02 - 0.03 on nitrate
I would say that should be the first method instead of last method. As in Carbon Dosing. I just had so much success with it its unbelievable. For 2+ 3 years I've pretty much struggled with nitrates hanging at 25ppm no matter what I do. Used a skimmer, refugium etc. ESP refugium which created a big ugly mess of dark greens in the sump. When I learnt and started carbon dosing, it was almost like a miracle. 25ppm to 2.5ppm in 14 days. Now i'm learning how to maintain it low by watching the doses. This will pretty much give me close to 0 reasons to do a water change. Water changes were never really an effective way to keep nitrates down. Can you imagine how large a water change you would need especially for large tank, how much work and cost it will be. Perhaps a practice in the past. Carbon dosing was wayyyyyyyyyyyy more affordable, less work and much better results. It just requires some knowledge to utilise and not to mention, a natural way of cleaning the water.
I love this series. I love listening to you guys banter back and forth, and it’s always really helpful to me.

I wish people would figure out siporax is all you need to lower nitrates. I've over done it in siporax and need to dose actually
I use Vodka for carbon dosing & its work great pass 2 years & recently I started using chaetos in sump & rowaPhos in reactor. tank is perfect now.. 0.02 - 0.03 on nitrate
Mr Saltwater Tank...can i switch to another brand of Salt from my recent Meersaltz Brand...becoz its too costly
I have to admit im not doing quarantine at all and i already have 2 clowns 1 tang 2 red shrimp and 3 small crabs. Am i making a huge mistake ?
If you have corals, you need some nitrates and phosphates. You will definitely see a difference with Corals as fat as growth and fullness.
mark forgot to mention vodka/ carbon dosing after mentioning biopellets as another last effort

My tank always bottom out on 0 so frustrating over feed nothing happens no major alage aoi zoas are dying but blondies growing frustrating
Try Red Sea AB plus
Funny skit G.
I think you should test before changing water
Pretty easy to back calculate and the after value is more important
