tank stress
a possible dumb question, but does tank stress (i.e. having hands in tank for too long, avalanching live rocks, etc.) increase nitrate level?

Nitrates are the end product of nitrification, caused when aerobic bacteria consume nitrites by oxidation (nitrogen cycle) But having the hands in your tank for example interrupt protein skimming (they are oily, even when you can't see it) Joaco |
