well in the past when i had plants for a while i was only dosing Leaf Zone or Flourish, and not very often. obviously my plants didnt last. while that was going on, when testing the water using API Master Test Kit my nitrates were always coming back at 0ppm...this was explained as being bottomed out by the plants for lack of nutrients...this was blamed for the resulting algae blooms and plant decay.
now i have eco-complete substrate, root tabs, and i'm dosing liquid ferts daily and the plants are growing nicely, absolutely no sign of algae...yet my nitrates come back at 0ppm still is it possible that the liquid test kit can be wrong? or do i really have 0ppm nitrate and if so, WHY?
