Reefing newb
I need some really quick advice ...in my 150 reef tank all parameters are including nitrites @ 0, ammonia @ 0, salinity @0.123 ect. My nitrates are over 200...I have a large sailfin and lg koran and I dont really think I am overfeeding them .. I did a 30 gal water chg last weekend and they are still through the roof...my filtration system is a wet/dry system I was using in my previous tank which was 75gal, my skimmer is a hang on the back Remora Pro that I also used on the 75 that is mounted in my sump.. seriously considering adding a Fluval FX 5 because I am thinking that my filtration system is insufficient for this size tank...the only time I have had my nitrates @ 0 I did 30gal changes every two weeks for 3 weeks and it caused my tank to cycle...do you guys (and girls) lean toward it being a filtration problem or a skimming problem? in addition to the two fish I mentioned add 3 yellow tangs, 3 chromis, 2 clarkis, i regal and 1 naso. I know i am close to my limit of stock but they are large fish and I can"t get by with one or two cubes of food per day....sorry for the long post>
