Amazing Advice everyone abot Nitrates. As soon as I get my shipment of Salt I will get going on the continued water changes. However, when using a Python, or other sypon device, how do you calculate the amount of water going down the drain. Secondly, how do you calculate the amount of ROCK in the tank, I didnt (foolishly) weigh it when I put it in. If I cant fit a Bucket UNDER the Python in my sink, and I cant yank out my rock to weigh it...how can I measure this therefor being MORE precise with my water changes.
I also have a nitrate sponge on the way and will keep it handy in case the Nitrates are not where they need to be after water changes...in the meantime I am "eyeballing it" and when it drops 4-5 inches from the starting water line, I am dividing it by the depth of the tank.
THANKS!!!!!!!!
