Has anyone ever used granulated sugar added to their tank to reduce nitrates. I have had a problem for a couple off months now with high nitrates. I have removed my wet dry, intstalled a refrugium with macroalgae. I still have nitrates around 60ppm in between bi-weekly 35 gallon water changes on a 150 rr tank. I am lost. I have been advised to stop distubing the sand bed when doing water changes. I have quit doing that. I did increase my sand bed from 1 inches to 4 inches where I could get the new sand. I did this very slowly and after rising the sand for hours. It took me a week to do the sand.
One other thing I can think of is I use a mag 18 for my return with 5 feet of head. I am flowing atleast 1400 gallon per hour. Is this too much through my fuge?
