28-11-2024, 08:58 AMTwhitenosugar replied to a thread Draco drum and Filtreau amalgam UV owners advice in Water Treatment, Protein Skimmers and FiltrationThis doesn't really answer your question.

25-11-2024, 11:10 PMTwhitenosugar replied to a thread Nitrate and nitrite levels in Water Treatment, Protein Skimmers and FiltrationYour nitrate sounds right but are you sure about your nitrite reading?
