Reefing newb
I have a 72 gallon tank with a 30 gallon refugium/sump. I have 130-140 lbs of live rock (tonga and Fiji premium) I have a protein skimmer wich is taking out loads of "crap" and seems to be working great. I have been doing water changes every 2-3 days(for 2 weeks) of 10-15 gallons to try and lower my nitrates. The problem is that it is not. I have tons of stuff growing in the fuge(chaeto) along with live rock. Uv sterilizer. All the stuff I should have. My nitrites are always 0. My ammonia reads zero. ca is 450.SG of 1.025.ph 8.3. My nitrates are steady between 10-20 ppm:frustrat:. I have taken out most of the corals and put them in the holding tank for fear of them dying along with 2 peppermint shrimp and a fire shrimp. Any questions on what else I can do to bring down the nitrates?
Thanks in advance!!:bowdown:
