| The Wand Geek was here. ;)   | Re: damsel Welcome to RS Pete  NitrAtes of 10 ppm or less are acceptable levels. Let's look at your other parameters too... can you post your reef's temp, ph, salinity, alkalinity and calcium levels? Also, what sized tank is it? What type of lighting? Describe its filtration... skimmer? sump?

| Sunshine Reefer   | Re: damsel Welcome to RS! We are here to help so ask away. As usual I agree with Woody. Nitrates are on the edge of the acceptable level, but shouldn't be high enough to cause problems. The best way to reduce them would be water changes. What else is in the tank? Any fish? Enjoy the site. Lots of friendly and helpful people here.
