hello all, i have been reading the pros and cons of canister filters, some say there are nirate factorys, i have a Rena Filstar xp 3 canister filter with 4 foam pads, ceramic rings, Bio- chem zorb and a mircofiltration pad. My question is do i need every thing in the filter in my FOWLR. i have about 95lbs of LR. some snails and crabs and shrimps. i feed the fish once aday and dont over do it, well i dont think so. lol. i should say i have 6 fish in my 90g tank. the trouble and the point of this thread is my nirate is never below 15ppm. I have a prism skimmer not very i know. upgraded soon. do 10% PWC every week. is the canister making my nirates high. i want to go reef soon so i need my levels down below 5ppm. any help please from a newbie
