I’ve added a few corals this week and I’ve noticed some “burnt tips” on new acros. I started testing and came up with the following
Cal- 480
Mag-1600
Alk-8.5
NO3- 350!!!!!!
PO4 -0
System is 300g display with 50g frag tank started with dry/mined rock and fritz turbo start.
Tank is about 3 months old, no fish are currently in the system. All other sps other than acros and lps are looking great. Using redsea test kit for cal, API for phosphate,(just ordered a Hanna) and Hanna for others. Nitrate was tested with the Hanna HR checker and diluted to 10% aquarium water with ro/di. Di water tested at 0.0 with the same kit. I know cal, mag, and alk are elevated, but that’s what my current salt mix is at out of the box, using fritz blue box. New PO4 checker should be here in a few days. What would be the best course of action here? I’ve never experienced nitrate this high.
