I have a Red Sea Reefer 170. About 45 gallons of total system water.
My NO3 has been undetectable forever, and I believe it could be due to my MarinePure ceramic plate.
I have minimal rockwork (about 10lbs max), about 1.5" sand bed (24"x20" area), 8watt UV sterlizer, and a skimmer that works well.
I have never been able to grow chaeto from a reactor, and my algae is pretty minimal. I am probably battling a slight bought of dinos right now.
So the big question is: is it worth removing the marinepure ceramic plate? Will that even theoretically help? Will it create some other problems (like another mini cycle)?
