I have a 90 gallon, it's been running at my house since September. I bought it from a guy already set up, we tore it down and moved it. We reused the sand, yeah I know not good. So the fish and corals are doing ok so there's that but my water remains incorrect so my tests say. My ammonia from red sea says 0.8, nitrite 0.2, nitrate 50 or more. Alk 7.7 calcium high. Phosphates 2 according to salifert. I have a reef octopus protein skimmer, a varios pump. 2 filter socks. A small bag of carbon and a small bag of phosguard, a biomedia plate. Iv added(not all at the same time) prime, stability, pods and phytoplankton. I feed frozen once sometimes twice a day. I do ref roids once to twice a week. I do 15 gallon water changes every two weeks and it helps but doesn't touch the issue. I'm probably over feeding other then that I dont know what to do besides ignore it if everything's alive and well. Its consistantly bad. My salinity is right on point always at 1.026 with instant ocean reef Crystal's and I use rodi water and top off with the same.
