hello everybody ! So for the pass 2 or 3 months I've been having a nitrate issue 160ppm on api. I've done everything water changes from large to small. Multiple times a week to bi to monthly. Carbon dosing with Red Sea no pox and brightwell reef fuel or bio fuel. I haven't had no change at all when I was running two canisters no issue like this.
Now have a sump to be more stable and only run a canister with sponges and a poly filter type sponge. Nothing else just for flow and seems to keep everything good and clear have
Chato in my sump and dragon breath Algae don't think it's growing either had a pink led on it and t5 ho and the basic 6500k bulb.
So haven't done a water change in 2 or 3 months now besides today like a very small one on my 40 breeder and don't know what else to do.
I think I lost my zoas to this they aren't opening at all or maybe from my Kole tang keeps picking at it maybe it sees something.
Any help would be nice and if want any other info on my tang all other levels are good phosphate etc.
