How do I keep the nitrate level low.
Answers:
Use Seachem de*nitrate in your filter. Awesome product. It has no bad side effects like many chemical filter medias.
Do not overfeed, that is the most common cause of high nitrates in an established aquarium.
The other most common cause is in a new aquarium and that is that the biological filter has not become established yet. It takes time for the water to cycle and get the biological filter into shape.
Good Luck!
The best cure all to this would be to pick up a few scavengers- crabs, shrimp, snails, etc. They will eat your blennie's body and it will be gone before you know it. If the crabs (or whatever you choose) eat it you will not have a problem because it will be recycled as food and your nitrates and ammonia's will not rise. I have plenty of scavengers in my tank just for that reason. Crabs are best if you are trying to save a few bucks-99 cents each.
