For those running on higher nitrates (>30) and have what you consider a fully stocked tank:
Do you test regularly and what do you average?
I test every 3 weeks or so mainly because I still have my Hanna checker from the reef days and like to see what the impact of a 40% - 50% water change is. This is approx 200g system. My nitrates average in the low 50's between water changes. I do check phosphate only because I run GFO and it really keeps the rocks and panels clean. I feed a good amount to a mix of mostly predator fish and tangs.
