So I have a 60 breeder (48 x 18 x 16) with a 10g sump that’s 8inches filled. I have a really small skimmer (tunze 9001) that fills the cup twice a week. I have 5 fish, A yellow eye kole tang, African flameback angel, peculiar clown pair and a 6 line wrasse. I never really test nitrate/phosphate but since I recently transferred the tank and used new sand a little over a month ago and have a tiny bit of diatoms I decided to test. Salifert couldn’t detect nitrate and my Hannah checker gave me 0.01ph.
I feed a nice amount, usually flakes. I feed some reef roids about once a week. I do weekly water changes of about 7 gallons, should I stop water changes for a week to see how much the level rise? Only thing I’m considering is either adding more fish which my tanks looks pretty darn fish deprived, or do less water changes. I really wanna upgrade to a bigger skimmer but since I tested the water I’m holding back on that since it’s already low on nutrients
