Best nitrate remover

[GHOSTLY]

As said in my other thread I have a nutrient spike on my hands. Phosguard is being run on my reactor and chaeto is being grown 13 hours a day. What’s another effective nitrate remover on top of my weekly water changes?

I have been trying Plus NP by Tropic Marin and working well to increase my numbers in a good ratio, but they do have a NP Remover in which also add a bit in to ensure you dont bottom out as it removed N+P. I havent tried that one but heard good things about it.

Are they reef safe or should I take precautions

also are there any other ways? Nowhere sells it near me

You can carbon dose if you have a skimmer.
Dose vodka, vinegar or nopox to feed bacteria that consume the nutrients. Skim the bacteria out to remove.

I dont run a skimmer as i have a small tank but I'm in the works of making one

What kind of spike we talking about? Can you post pre-spike and post-spike test results?

 

[ninjamyst]

Small tank? Just do a big water change. Ez pz

small tank but thats not the problem. I would Like to constantly lower nitrate and I don't have the time or money to be doing water change a day

5 and 0.004 or near there now its 10 or 15 and phosphate is somewhere around 0.006 to 7

I dose Kalk + Vinegar and it keeps my small tank bottomed out on nitrate and phosphate, without skimmer
I mix up at 3tbsp kalk & 50ml vinegar per gallon rodi. For my 25 gal water volume, I dose just under 500ml of this solution a day

nice, cheap, and low maintenance

problem is I dont want to risk anything. Would there be a filter media

 

[TheGulag]

Run the chaeto light for 24 hours, and/or do a bigger weekly water change. Can also change filter socks/pads/floss sooner to prevent the nitrates from even forming.

How would I put filter floss in and where
