So for some reason my nitrates will not budge from 20ppm. I have done large water changes feed LRS reef frenzy nano once daily, running protein skimmer, filter sock on one side, caddy on the other with nitrate filter with filter floss and chem pure blue. My phos are steady at .04 but just can’t get my nitrates down. Here is what I have in it:
20 gal IM AIO
Two clowns
One bi color blenny
Two peppermint shrimp
One cleaner shrimp
Turbo snail
Another snail can’t remember the name of it
7 herms
One pistol
15 pieces of coral
just did a 4 gallon water change and I change out the filter socks every few days. The corals look good but just can’t beat this brown algae and I think it’s due to my high nitrates
what are your thoughts?
