nitrates and sps

Is potassium nitrate "stump remover", or, how does one buy it?

Yes is stump remover. Make sure you get the spectracide from lowes and not the stuff they sell at homedepot

This the difference I witnessed in 40 days. My tank always had 0 nitrate and I moved it 50 miles. After the move nitrate spiked to 0.5ppm and stayed there for about 2 months.

This is a dslr picture of purple bonsai shortly after I got it. It actually has more color in this picture than the day it was moved

The exact same frag 40 days after the move. This is a cell phone picture

That just about sums it up. Still putting stump remover in a fish tank sounds like a crazy idea. But it seems like lot of people have great results with it.

It was probably a year after this before I started using stump remover. I really tried hard to get results in another way but it didn't work for me.

yea, I know. Im just saying it sounds crazy. I have my bachelors and masters in organic chemistry. So I get the underlying methodology. My background is one reason why I love reef keeping. Its like a very delicate dance. one misstep and kaplooey!
