OK So I do not know where to post this here so this looks like the best place.
I have a 75 Gal 'Want to be Reef' tank. I have a low fish load and my Nitrates are off the chart. I would like to keep coral but i am killing everything that I put in the tank. :cry:
Equipment:
75 Gal tank
30 Gal sump
SWC 150 Skimmer (Works great)
Filter socks (Changed regularly)
BRS dual GFO/carbon reactor (Changed regularly)
BRS Bio Pellets reactor
2 x 250W 20,000k MH with 2x x T5 Blue Actinics and Moon LEDs
2 x Jeabo WP40s in Reef Crest Mode
Apex Jr. Tank Controller
Stats:
PH 8.35
Temp 76 - 77
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Phosphate 0
Nitrates Off the scale!!!
The tank is 2 years old
I am running a Deep Sand Bed and have plenty of rock in the tank. I do 30% water changes at the weekend, not wanting to do more so I do not send the tank into a mini cycle.
I want to keep coral more than fish but I have had no luck and I do not want to add anything else until I get this under control.
Any ideas?
