Well my nitrates have been throught the roof the past couple of months. My guess is that it is my canister filter.
Setup:
29g
remora pro skimmer
Fluval Canister Filter with carbon, Phosphate remover, and sponge filters.
2 Powerheads 270gph and 170gph
25lbs live rock
live sand
150w mh lights
1 bubble tip anenome
1 sand sifting star, 1 chocolate chip star, 1 tube worm
Obviously it is the canister filter causing my nitrates to go way up. My question is if the protien skimmer and live rock is enough for filtration? I have thought about a sump but I have no idea where to start. I have a empty 10g tank that I could probally use bu I dont have a lot of room. I did 2 5g water changes this week already which has helped. Any ideas/suggestions/comments?
Thanks!
