Turning Off BioPellets - Now What?

[reefer1]

Well, after a lot debate, I've decided to remove the biopellets from my system. It just removed too much and starved my sps corals. They lost color and polyps shrunk.
What should I do to get nutrient levels up?
So, I did 20-gallon water change (105 display + 20 sump).
Any other suggestions?

My system to clean water now is as follows:
Rowaphos in 2 little fishies reactor
Tunze skimmer
Filter sock

Thanks

Careful with your decision. When I first took out my biopellet, algae, dino, and all kind of shjt appeared in my tank. I lost a couple frags, 2 fishes (yellow tang and clownfish).
However, sps start looking better, more pe, less random rtn.
If you decide to take down biopellet, do it slow, very slow.

Did you try feeding the corals a little more? I know it sounds counter productive but feeding the corals other than what is available in the water column should help tremendously

I tried for a number of things over the last couple of months without any success. My tank was lower than ULNS - close to "zero" nutrients. SPS and other corals were starving and turning pale.
Anyway, the biopellets are out now. It's been 4 days. There was a diatom bloom but I siphoned most of that out yesterday.
Any tips on how to move forward?
How do I get the nutrient levels up from "zero"?
Thanks!
