    nitrates high... 20ppm

    enough powerhead?

    bio filter

    Yea bet alot of brown stuff came out. You should really consider hooking up a sump/refugium to your tank. That was the best thing a ever did. I have 0 phosphates and nitrates all the time now. That will allow you to put a skimmer in there to. I believe a skimmer is a must for this hobby. If you...

    Yea food gets trap in there and the next thing you know your nitrates are climbing. Thats why i dont run any type of sponges in my tank. I only run a emperror filter pad with carbon one week a month in my sump.

    Start Over After 10+????
