I’ve had a 150 running for about 8 months with a wet/dry as primary filtration. A couple of months ago I added 100 lbs of Gulf LR and 40lbs base rock. Two weeks ago I added another 35lbs of Fiji LR and last week I added 12 lbs more. Total of 147 lbs not counting base rock which probably hasn’t seeded yet.
I'm tired of fighting nitrates, I don’t want to do 30 water changes weekly and that’s what I have to do to keep it in check. Can I safely remove the balls? or safely clean them and put them back?
I have cc substrate, which I'm seriously considering changing and all my other levels are fine. I use RO water and the membrane is fairly new. Anyone with nitrate problems that changed their substrate and got good results please chime in.
Maybe remove the balls and keep them wet so that if I get a spike I can put them back in?
