New to R2R 60G bow front

[SD_reefer]

Hello everybody! Glad to say that i have finally found a forum that will actually send me an email to get my account active. So that alone is awesome. Now i consider myself new to the hobby yet i have had my tank up and running for a solid 8 months and in that time I have had a peppermint shrimp go missing ( think my crab at it) a nudibranch also think my crab ate it and only death i can report is my bicolor angel fish. I have in my dank 2 damsels that i have had in there just to see if the tank was cycled and they didnt die, a clownfish, sally lightfoot, and a mandarin. i have recently started adding corals as well and things have been growing and looking healthy. only problem that i have is that i can't seem to get my nitrate down to an appropriate level. i do regular water changes and keep my feeding to a schedule every couple days. I have a protein skimmer running as well but the levels are still high. some info or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the welcome! So my set up is ( was told 60 but might be a little smaller) bow front tank i have a tunze 9004 in tank protein skimmer, two HOB 50 gallon AquaClear filters, and a power head just to give a little bit of a current. for some reason it wont upload the picture of my power head.

Welcome to r2r. What filter system are you running?

 

[SD_reefer]

my filter system is 2 HOB AquaClear 50 gallon filters. All my level are good tested last night and my pH was at 8.2 ammonia and nitrite were both 0 but my nitrates were at 10 which were at 20ppm before i did my water change. So im just trying to get a grasp on the nitrate situation so all my corals in the tank don't end up dying.
