Aquarium Advice FINatic
So I've been battling nitrates for a little bit and I've done everything including checking equipment etc. I really think its my substrate! For over a week now I've only had one clown and 3 shrimp in my tank that is over two years old. It has live rock as well. I've changed all filter pads and cleaned all equipment (tank is 56 gallons). I use RO water and I've only been feeding my clown 1x every other day. I do have a protein skimmer that works. I really have been wanting to change my sand out for a while anyway. Will it cycle again? How can I do this and make sure my live rock, clown, and shrimp are ok?
