Leather toadstool

So ditch all the bio stuff? Straight filter pads & carbon? I can do that if that is what is best. I have roughly 30lbs (maybe closer to 40) of live rock and 1/2 of my sand was live at startup. I probably have 50lbs of sand.

Agreed. I ditched the canister all together on a 55 we ad. Nitrates dropped instantly and regular water changes kept everything in check
