Goldenmean I have a question if Ya don't mind. There was a drop in your No3(nitrate) levels your last tests. I'm missing something here, If We don't have any anaerobi area's ( in liverock) in a bare qt's how does the nitrates drop. I assumed(in a Qt) that only water changes could reduce the NO3 levels. Are You doing water changes? I'm a little behind you with my cycle. I didn't test for 6 days. Ammonia is 0 now No2 is >1 .No3 was over 30. Thanks.
