After installing a Reef Mat 500 into a Cade 600 S2 (approx 70g) about 6 months ago I have been trying to raise nitrate & phosphate. For the first time I have .003 nitrate 0 phosphate, both have been zero for a very long time. My skimmer has been off for 3+ months. After Horse Shoe crab died my sand bed is starting to turn brown. Feed heavy pellets and Frozen. 5 fish and some softies.
My question is can I take my reef mat off line and run my skimmer only? Bio brick in the sump, was thinking remove some of that also.
