Hi, I'm wondering why nitrate control is so much more sensitive in a saltwater tank vs a freshwater tank?
I'm wondering if it's just the corals that are sensitive to nitrates or even the fish are as well. Because I've read that for saltwater tank, you want the denitrification process to be in place for a tank to be called cycled. Where as for freshwater tank once nitrates appear and ammonia and nitrite are 0, you assume the tank is cycled.
Thank you!
