![]() Maybe stop doing water changes so often. I've gone 8 months before without a water change and everything was great.
On a 33 gallon system, a 5 gallon water change will cause swings |

![]() I do a 5 gal wc every 3 days on a 42g system. Works great. I would prefer it over a 20g every two weeks which would have higher swings

![]() 8 months :0 without making a nitrite factory ?
My fresh I can go months on ... But I still do it once a week . Great advice everyone ! I'm going to look into getting a better skimmer . And wait for my reactor to get in . I'm going to continue making frequent water changes Until I can fix the problem Also going to get my water checked tomorrow get some real readings Thanks everyone |

I have auto water changes setup now and I still only do about 40 gallons every 2 weeks. But I introduce the new water over 3-4 days |

I have gone about 3 weeks with no water change on my freshwater and the same with my saltwater each time my nitrates start to climb. I guess I am so used to 0's on my test kits. On my saltwater tank I would say I 'over' filter (not that I really believe you can do that) I have a large skimmer and lots of live rock and I can see the water clarity changing after about 3 weeks and I run carbon and GFO...

yup real time frame. there are other ways to remove nitrates other than water changes. i was also dosing everything during that time freshwater is different. there are no bio pellets or DSB |
