I have a 32g biocube and in the last month I had a few patches of GHA and my corals were looking kinda dull and not extending all the way and 2 weeks ago I did a 3 day blackout and treated with peroxide and now most of the GHA is gone (2 or 3 patches very very thin and small) and now I'm trying to get nitrate readings and I'm showing nothing. So I started dosing potassium nitrate with RODI water (4 tblsp. For 1000ml) and I dosed 10ml at a time up to 200ml and tested immediately after and I'm still not showing any nitrates. Also have a big bioload. After dosing the nitrates my corals seemed to have kind of get some color back and seem happier but not quite all the way. Any help is appreciated.
 
I had the same problems with zero no3 I was dosing it and dosing it could never get it up . I got a new test kit the Red Sea no3 and just tested and I’m reading 50ppm lol not to sure at this point what to do
 
That was my other worry after dosing and checking with my API kit after seeing zero I immediately ordered a salifert test kit which should be here Friday
