Trying to raise Nitrates

[Reefer Rob]

I'm somewhat in the same boat as you. My tank is at 4 1/2 months, and nutrients bottomed out a couple of weeks ago. Some of the corals lightened quite a bit... but some are lovin' it. The flower pedal monti in the bottom of the tank went a real pale yellow. I've dial back the light a few times, and dosed AA, and everything starting to get color back slowly.

It would be nice to get some more fish, but I have a wr******* Sixline that would likely kill anything that's not twice it's size.

I had me one of those two and I tell anyone who asks a six line can be brutal once it gets to a large size , its the most territorial fish I had to deal with killed lots of new comers and was relentless.
