Im a complete newbie to salt water marine life (2 days) We just set up my tank this week and I bought a bit of test equipment tonite and low and behold my nitrate level is at 160ppm. I also have this white web or moss all over my live rock and coral. I have a 90 gal with maybe a 25 gal lower tank. salt is 1.022. I'm quite worried how to correct this before it gets out of control.
We used mostly the old water ( tank was established for several years before I bought it) and added maybe 20 gals RO water and 5 gals tap water. I bought new sand also. I lost 5 fish in the move as well which was sad. tomorrow i'm gunna do a part water change...maybe 20 gals. hopefully that helps.
