Hey guys and girls,
I'm just wondering if over filtration is a thing. I have been told by the professionals at my lfs that my tank is running too clean. My corals were not looking too hot. They tested some of my levels. My nitrates were at 1 and my phosphates were at 0.1. Im not sure if there is any coralation (haha) to how many filter pads I have in my tank. I counted them and I have a total of 6. My tank is a 45 gal JBJ aio. I don't have a big bio load and I am new to the coral game so I just have some lps and softies. I have a pic for you, but it's going to be hard to see everything. I'm just wondering if I should remove some of the pads or is there no such thing as having too many filter pads. Thx.
