Nitrate

[Geoff Carson]

Hi I'm at this hobby for about 14 months my 90 ltr tank is going well or so I think all my levels are o. K
Alk 10
PH 8.1
Nitrite 0
Am Phos
0.03
Cal 400
Mag 1300

All coral and fish doing OK but my Nitrate is about 8ppm I read it should be 2 and some sites say below 10 is fine. I'm start g to see green hair Alger. I have a reactor with bio perks and have just added 4 weeks ago som matrix with some live culture. Looking some advice re nitrates

Nitrate at 8ppm is completely fine.

Personally, I would keep Alk a little lower, but some folks keep it where you have it.
