Don't know how to start. 27 year old two tank 120g and a 90g with a 55 gallon fuge with chaeto and about 120lbs live rock. I have been trying to lower very high nitrates, I have been using NOPOX. It dropped my no3 down to 24ppm as of now, from some 64ppm over the coarse of a month and half +++ Yayyyy, . Phosphate at 0.08 not to bad... Now you might have guessed it? a good sized red slime out break. I am currently at 24ppm no3, and feel like I just need to keep NOPOX dosing and get down to a normal level. But the ole red slim will take over! I am torn between adding Hydrogen Peroxide at night 1ml per 10 gallons and Microbacor7 in the morning at 1.5ml per 10gallons. But... What about the NOPOX do I keep dosing it as well? This will be just way to much dosing and additives dumped in a tank at once. #1 NOPOX feeds the red slime, but it also lowers no3... What would be the damage if I did all three of these at once??? Is it even possible to do so, and how hard is it going to be on 9 clowns, 3 cleaner wrasses, asst. snails, a star fish. Frags; monti's, some diggis, huge bubble tips, wands, and stuff I never see, ect.. ect... Anyone have a coarse of action on what would the the best and the safest way I can go?. Dang sometimes this hobby can just challenge you to the max at times.. For this at this time, I am like lost.. I could use some input and experience from fellow reefers... I really could...! Thank you for any help at all.
