Thank you everyone for all of your help and advice, it is very greatly appreciated. Adding Matrix to my power filter in the mechanical-chemical-biological filtration order, performing weekly water changes and partial gravel vacuuming, and monitoring feeding amounts seem to be the best options. Also, adding denitrifying sources such as plants in my tank and filter will be used as well.
My last question would probably be; are there any recommended plants that do exceptional at absorbing nitrates? I know hornwort and anacharis as aquatic plants have been offered before. What about plants to actually place in the filter? And the substrate for these plants would be the matrix, right?
Thanks again for all the advice given thus far and I believe it will be very helpful to anyone else who may have similar issues, as it has been to me.
