What method for reducing nitrates/phosphates do you use?

[rsisvixen]

I use a combination of macro algae (red bubble kelp),PÛRA Complete and NOPOx from redsea.

I feed frozen twice a day and have 12 fish in the tank currently

Nitrates are at such low lvls that its undetectable by my test kits and phosphates are in the low range 0.2ish

So you like the NOPOx? Works well, no issues?

I like it, easy to dose, they have a very nice measuring cup that comes with it. Its a mix of bacteria strains that eat nitrates and phosphates and its not a very quick fix, takes about a month of daily dosing to notice a significant impact.

The reason I got it was I had a small cyno issue crop up due to all the power outs and increased bioload, the NOPOx has done a fantastic job of getting rid of it.
