Hi all- please help!
My reef tank has been running about 8 months now I have a Aquareef 180 with four power heads in the display tank, just a filter sock in the sump.
I have struggled with parameters ( I had a dud KH test kit but have finally managed to keep them stable.
Salt .023
Kh 11
Temp 26
Calcium 240
Amonia/ nitrite 0
I have two clowns, a grama and a yellow tang and a number of coral... about 10 in total ranging from mushrooms to hammers, Duncan’s and a few hard corals (which aren’t growing). I have about 8 snails of different varieties, hermits
I cannot get my nitrates down from 75 ish!!!!
My sand bed is very thin and immaculate, my sump is also extremely clean, there dosnt seem to be any detritus anywhere as I clean it very regularly... my skimmer is on 24/7.
I have cheato and calurpa in the sump under a ‘plant growth enhancing’ light.. but it didn’t seem to grow... what could be the issue here?
