Can you run a media reactor in your sump along with a refugium? I have a refugium that I’ve been trying to grow chaeto, so far the nitrates are still really high so I’m considering adding a media reactor with GFO

I’ve been doing 20 % water changes weekly and I change my filter socks every 3 days, I’m barely feeding the tank since there’s only inverts and corals at the moment. My nitrates have been very high, phosphates not so bad considering how high the nitrates are.I run both a fuge & reactor with gfo. I also use chemipure elite in the sump, these are more for phosphate removal. We have a heavy bioload. I use purigen in the sump as well to assist with nitrates. Water changes should help a lot with nitrates.. Best of luck
How high are they? No3 #?I’ve been doing 20 % water changes weekly and I change my filter socks every 3 days, I’m barely feeding the tank since there’s only inverts and corals at the moment. My nitrates have been very high, phosphates not so bad considering how high the nitrates are.
I’m wondering if maybe an urchin dying or other cuc members dying is the cause for the nitrates to suddenly be over double what it usually is
regardless my nitrates are usually high so I’m thinking of adding the media reactor
I tried using chempure elite but no noticeable difference
