My nitrates seem to have dropped from two weeks ago on this new system. I had used a test strip about a week or two ago and if i recall( i didn't document like i should have) it was really pink on the nitrate strip and light pink on the nitrite......two days ago the nitrite was zero and the nitrates only light pink......all i have is 35 mangroves and a ball of chaeto the size of maybe a miniture basketball(with the chaeto loose and not compressed) and a 6 inch deep sandbed in the 100 gallon rubbermaid plastic stock tank that is my sump. This system has only been running for about a two months.........any input???
