Re: Going to pieces

Depending on how much live rock you have and the skimmer your using, removing the bioballs might help out your nitrate problem..

Bioballs are in my opinion to good at what they do and don't allow the skimmer enough time to remove the waste, before they break it down into nitrates. Bioballs are great in a FO tank where having higher nitrates is ok, but need to be used with caution in a reef setup.
