i just recently started dosing for magnesium so im working on bringing it up but im not doing it fast. I never thought i would have a problem with not enough nutrients lol. i had a cyano problem until earlier in jan when i treated with chemiclean. i started using chaeto on a reverse light cycle as well as the GFO that ive been running for a while. Ive never had an issue with nitrates ever. i ran biopellets for a while and reduced things too much and ever since taking them off the tank growth has been much better, but still havent seen any sign of nitrates.
im nervous about doing it but maybe i should back off the water changes and let nitrated rise just a smidge?
