I see alot of you are claiming extremely low nitrate and phosphate levels. Im telling you now if you are using Salifert kits to test both, you are wasting your time. Nitrates almost always test to 0 and the P04 kit is way off.
IMO P04 hanna checker for phosphate and a red sea nitrate test kit are best...most accurate. Just my 2 cheap cents.
