I moved someone's 110 gal tank into my empty 150. I'm using the same 29 gallon sump for my 150 that was on the 110. It is stocked with 200+ pounds of live rock and lots of sand. Also came with lots of coral, anemone, and fish. When I set it up 3-4 weeks ago I used as much of the water as I could from the 110 tank. 40 gallons of ro/di water I had and unfortunately 25 gallons of water from wal-mart. Since then I have only been using my ro/di water (that I have tested and shows 0 nitrates) for water changes and top off.
My problem is that my nitrates are still 30-40. This week I bumped my water change up to 50 gallons and am planning on doing 50 gallon per week water changes until it gets to 0. Before this week I was only doing 15 gallon.
Is there anything else I can do to help? I'm worried about all my live stock.
