I use seachem flourish, but the nitrates remain at 0. Assistance with getting nitrates up? I'd like to avoid anything too complicated if possible. Flourish doesn't contain nitrates. Most of us use Potassium Nitrate, KNO3, to increase the NO3 level. You can find it either as Green Light Stump Remover at hardware stores, or buy it on eBay or sites like www.litemanu.com. Seachem also makes a separate product that specifically provides nitrogen, so you might want to look into that if you don't want the hassle of obtaining or mixing KNO3. __ Alex pcalex (at) hotpop.com |

I dose KNO3 (Grants Stump remover) and it works great!
I too have a 75 gal that previously had DIY CO2. I could never stabalize the Ph over the course of the day with that system. Ph would fluctuate from 7.2, just after lights on, to 7.6, just after lights off (during the peak performance time of the diy system) and constantly battling algae. Finally did the pressurized system... and I'm glad I did! DJay "WD" wrote in message news:C8BSa.107294$ye4.79398@sccrnsc01...
