I can not get my nitrate levels below 10ppm. All the other tests are 0 ammonia, 0 nitrates, 10nitrates, 0 phosphate. The tank is a 75 gallon, with 80 lbs of live rock, crushed coral/sand, I do at least a 15% water change every 7-10 days. There are 2 fluval 305's without the filter pads those got changed out to live rock rubble. Fish include 1 hippo tang, 1 yellow tang, 2 o clowns, 1 algae blenny, 1 6 line , 2 sand gobbies, 1 cleaner goby. The cleaning crew consists of 1 brittle star, 6 nassarious, 3 turbo snails, 2 astrea, 3 bumble bee snails, 4 hermit crabs. I have noticed some waste on the sand bed, but i dont know if i should increase my cleaning crew, add more live rock or what. I have a remora skimmer, and 3 korolia powerheads.
