Nitrates ARE important
So, I was taught the basics and the rest I ask my LFS, here, or trial and error.... I was not running my sump right, not enough water flow, no bubbling. My nitrates were high, my anenome would not stay still or plant himself and algae began to grow ( red and green!) so 2 days ago, I adjusted my sump, it's filling with waste fast. The anenome planted, and is bigger and more full them ever( although his mouth is wide open lol) and the algea has subsiding!!! So newbies..... Always check everything 10 times, ask questions, learn, and most of all keep your livestock live! Thank everyone for your help!
