i have steadied off feeding because my nitrates were going up steadily.
nitrates have gone down now after a couple of weeks and a couple of water changes.
how would flow affect this purple stuff then?
Well, one of the mods on here is at 150x per hour, so I am sure he would say yes. hahaha. But really, you should start out at least in the 10-20x range.
we've been looking into inverts that we can put in the tank, what could we put in (30 gals) that might keep the substrate stirred up. We'd like a starfish but I don't know if any of them stay small enough.
Thats a good thread to refer to Grins.
Reading the recommendations, increase protein skimming......my skimmer is acting up/not working at its max efficiency since i cleaned it and broke the venturi pipe. I am in the process of repairing it but will be buying another bigger one soon.
Maybe this could be one of my problems along with over feeding???
