can I use nitrate minus in my reef tank?

[alirezak39]

hi,
I have 250 gallon reef tank with 2 carpet anemone, recently I faced to nitrate problem and I used nitrate minus of Tetra co. to solve nitrate problem. Also I have heard this product can kill algae which live inside my anemones and can be harmful for them, is it true or not?
thanks.

Beside the carpet, what else do you have in the tank? IMHO, nitrate should be taken care of with water change, appropriate feeding procedure, and filtration/skimer. Not these nitrate minus, nitrominator, or other product with creative names.

First thanks dupaboy for sharing your data,
I also have 2 damsel, 2 clown, 1 lion, 1 wrass, 2 trigger, 1 emperor and 1 majestic angel. My specialist fiend recomend me to set up denitrartorso I'm going to buy a new one. Unforyunatly it's very hard for me to do partial water change. I 'll put some picture of tank soon.

What is your location? A few people outside the USA have issue of doing water change due to availability of water filter and salt, etc.

Do you have protein skimmer? It is by far the most efficient way to deal with nitrate problem than any of the denitrator, IMO
