Ok Thankyou I am using a Ai prime

That's not what sparetime asked

 

[EeyoreIsMySpiritAnimal]

Sailfwrt test kits

Why does your tank have 0 nitrates?

 

[Tactical Reefkeeping]

never mind sorry it is a white seaba

You're gonna need a phosphate test kit and to up the nitrate. 0 nitrate often means the tank is starving for available nitrogen

 

[EeyoreIsMySpiritAnimal]

never mind sorry it is a white seaba

That makes more sense

 

[Tactical Reefkeeping]

Um because what I test my nitrates and nitrates is a easy test strips and everytime I test they say zero is good maybe because they just test it differemt

Get a proper test kit.

My tanks hover at zero at nitrates even with heavy dosing and nems do fine. ULNS are not that uncommon. If it’s settled in that spot I would just feed it and wait a couple hours. Keep an eye out for infection but might just be acclimating.

 

[Tactical Reefkeeping]

yeah already fed it gobble up that real quick it has been there since 1:00 am at moving around and then something at 7:00 is just stayed there every since

 

[Tactical Reefkeeping]

And sense you guys are here is 8:20 minutes of light a good amount of light or should I add more time

Depends on the tank and light intensity. I have tanks that are 8 hours and others that are 10. Just find a happy balance with corals and algae.

 

[Tactical Reefkeeping]

Thankyou for the information on this stuff it is a 25 gallon so far only lps corals

Ah you need better tests for nitrate imo. I don't think test strips are very good.
