Hello!!!
im trying reduce nitrates in my tank because it are between 50-100 ppm.

i stoped to use carbon dosing because i had a bloom of ostreopsis, currently i Have controlled the ostreopsis with a uv Lamp but i can see some in the aragonite.

My algae scrubber doesent wroug and my phosphates are in .13ppm.


could i use nopox or carbon dosing to try reduce nitrates?
 
Have you tried good old fashioned water changes...wont risk a bacterial bloom that way.
 
The problem is that when i do water changes the ostreopsis have a bloom, and when i dose carbon source it doesn't happen and the algae doesnt grow up
 
Do 1/2 of your tank volume water change NOW!!!
