Hey All,
I was wondering if it would be beneficial to my tank to remove the "Bio-Bale Biological Filter Media" from my CPR Bak-Pak 2 protein skimmer. The guy at the LFS store told me it could be causing my nitrate levels to be elevated. Any thoughts on this? Should I remove this stuff since I have approximately 36 pounds of Fiji live rock and a good layer of live sand. The tank has been running for over 6 months now. I am also using Chemi Pure Elite in my external filter along with some Poly-Filter.
36 Gallon Parameters:
Temp = 80 deg
S.G. = 1.0264
pH = 8.3
Ammonia/Nitrite = 0 ppm
Nitrate = 30 ppm (approx)
Thanks,
Joey
