So i have a deep sand bed live sand , about 100 pounds of half live rock half dry rock in my 90 gallon tank i have a sump and a skimmer. My first addition (after cycled) was about 3 months ago. My nitrates are about 30 and i do weekly 15 gallon water changes. I think i am going to start doing 25 gallons to keep them lower. I have been researching nitrate removal methods like reactors, refugiums, algae scrubbers, ect. And i went to my lfs and they said not to buy anything because with the set up i have in about 3 months my nitrates shod be really low. I am still getting new algae growth on my rocks. Nice reds, purples and greens. What are your thoughts on when my tank matures and how my nitrates will be?
