Hi everyone. I have a 12g nano with the following stable parameters:
Kh: 8.5
Ca: 450
Mg: .1300
Nitrates: c. 10ppm
Phosphates: always zero
I also have filter sponges I clean weekly, seachem Denitrate and Seachem purigen in the sump areas I've been doing a lot of research about bioballs becoming nitrate factories and wonder if I really need them. I have all live rock in the tank and am disciplined with maintenance. The bioballs are really dirty. At the same time, the tank is stable, so should I leave well enough alone? I don't want to upset a stable system but I'm wondering if there's any way I can make it even better. Any comments would be helpful!
