Hello I am new to the forum, but have had a saltwater fish only tank for 6+ yrs. I have been battling a nitrate problem for a while now and was wondering if anyone had some suggestions...I have a 55 gallon tank, 5 fish, percula & clarkii clown, hawlk, niger trigger and yellow damsel. Not too much. 50 lbs live rock. 1.5-2 inch cc substrate, NO dual lights, remora pro skimmer, 2 powerheads penguin 660's one on each side of the tank, and 2 330 biowheels running with carbon, but no wheels. I am thinking of removing the 330's or at least one of them...hoping it may help with the nitrates. I was also thinking of maybe changing one into a fuge (Nate gave me the idea). What does everyone think? Will the tank be shocked if I stop running the mechanical filtration? Do we think this is part of the NO3 problem?
Any help greatly appreciated..
And by the way..great site!!
