SRC Member liquidnoise Posted September 11, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted September 11, 2013 one of the way to control nitrate we all noe is to reduce bioload. We try to do tat for mayb a few weeks den we realise the fishes are now nibbling the corals! BT, damsels...are like going ard looking at the corals and seen them take nips here no there! clowns are still ok..but the rest r like looking for alternative food.
