For some reason my nitrate levels are extraordinarily high...at least I think it is. I'm somewhere in between 50 and 110 ppm. I do regular water changes (20% every month), I even went out and spent a butt load of money on a protein skimmer and a canister filter to help with the problem. I bought a pouch of bacteria that was supposed to help the levels but nothing seems to do the trick. It isn't good for my bank, I've killed off an anemone and some shrimp as well as ever snail I ever put in there. Friends have told me that I need to take my lr out and vacuum under it, other say that I need to feed less. I have been feeding on snall cube of frozen food nightly. Any ideas on what the problem might be?
