Seems that no matter what I do I cannot get dKH, NO3, and PO4 to go down. I have been doing 20% weekly water changes with distilled water, I have cut down on feedings, and I am keeping on top of cleaning filter media. Heck I even set up a small refugium that hangs on the side of my tank. It has cheto and live rock rubble and is attached to a submersible pump so there is plenty of flow. Everything seems to be doing good. Clown fish are active and hungry all the time. Sea whip is doing good so far. Cuc is active and pistol shrimp is as grumpy as ever. I’m tempted to put all fish in a bucket with the live rock and do a 100% water change. I don’t know.. should I grab another bottle of live bacteria and dump it in? I don’t have any algae blooms yet. ( knock on wood). Water is crystal clear. My system has copepods etc. (find them in the filter all the time). I really want to add a couple of soft corals to go along with my sea whip but these perimeters need to be correct before I add anything else.
