You can buy a resin to remove nitrate. If your nitrate readings are correct, I would look for causes like a dirty sump, filter socks, etc,.Any clue on how to get nitrate down I normal do water change ever other weekend an do 8-10 gals
Just deep cleaned sump like 2 week ago. Probably last check was 3-4 week ago. Work been crazy an got Lil side trackedYou can buy a resin to remove nitrate. If your nitrate readings are correct, I would look for causes like a dirty sump, filter socks, etc,.
When was the last time you checked for nitrate ? Only ask to figure out how long it took to rise to this level ?
I might run some carbon until guess work or thought finds the cause for the abnormal coral behavior.
Probably happens !

Yea saw mixed review about that stuff. Thinking I do the same suck shirt not cheapThat AB+ coral food did not work out for me. Shot my nitrates through the roof. Poured it down the drain.
True. I can’t see a 40 breeder needing kalk addition that much unless it’s already stacked to the gills (pun intended) with SPS. A couple hand doses of 2 part per week would be all I’d think is needed; if that. Seems like too much going on for the size tank you’ve got. Might be better off just doing a 50% water change and taking all those auxiliaries offline. Larger tanks where it isn’t economical or feasible to do a 50% water change may benefit from the added equipment, but you’re basically in the nano size realm. I think if you take the scrubber offline and do a few water changes you’ll be surprised how good the corals look.I was questioning his need for kalk with that size tank and his coral stock if he’s doing water changes
I dose kalk to help maintain pH an cal an all should I turn it down?I was questioning his need for kalk with that size tank and his coral stock if he’s doing water changes
An I did pick up the benereef last weekLook into benereef it’s a powder food that you mix in a cup of water and pour in the tank or target feed. Its a cleaner food that doesn’t raise parameters much
Only target feed 2 times cen I have got itAn I did pick up the benereef last week

A water change cannot keep up with Alk and cal usage. I would continue with kalk.I dose kalk to help maintain pH an cal an all should I turn it down?
So maybe just turn off scrubber. An see what happensA water change cannot keep up with Alk and cal usage. I would continue with kalk.
I use 8-oz of saturated kalk every night on my frag tank of ~18-gallons. Simple, low cost and very easy to adjust.
Now that I have many sps corals in my frag tank I need my alk and cal stable.
Probably happens !

I have no experience with AB+coral food , if it is the cause or not of your high nitrates I would not turn off your algae scrubber.Yea saw mixed review about that stuff. Thinking I do the same suck shirt not cheap
I do have bio cubs in my sump to help with the bioI wonder if the gravel is having a negative impact here. Maybe not providing the surface area, and biological filter, like a live sand bed would? Or some other issues as a result of it?
