I cant seem to get my nitrates below like 40ppm on a good day, whats the deal? A little history: 90g, set up 7+mo, 3-4" sandbed, 110lbs or so live rock, skimmer, HOB emperor 280, ammo 0, trites 0, PH 8.4, 10g PWC w/RODI per week. Stocked with 8 small-med fish, 30 snail/crab clean-up crew, 8 corals. So whats up with my nitrates? how can get them down? The PWC's dont seem to help much. I can increase them to get it down but then how do I keep it down? I have been topping off with declorinated tap lately but not more than a gal or two a week. Also, the tank was fallow for 8-9wks due to an ick scare until two weeks ago. Before that though my nitrates were still always 20-30. Suggestions?
Thanks
