Your setup sounds just fine to me. You may be overdoing the chemical filtration with the chemipure, purigen and the phosphate remover. Are you testing nitrate and phosphate regularly?

Smaller tanks are much more about their maintenance routine than the gear you have.

Yes my no3 has just been a little high along with the po4. That’s why I have been using it. Thanks I do my 3 gallon water change every Sunday

By chance what kind of tank do you have.
