ok. i know that nitrites and ammonia are a direct product from fish and their waste, and overfeeding. i have bioballs in my sump right now and my nitrates are sky high. If i were to add a fuge with a ton of algae, wouldnt this take care of the problem. If i were to eliminate the bioballs how will ammonia and nitrite get broken down? i only have about 35 lbs of LR in there right now and i have a clown, a yellow wrasse, a bangaii, and 4 small chromis. i dont plan on getting anything else till i get a bigger tank. ALSO, will high nitrate levels affect growth of coralline and/or my zooanthids? i really want these to floursih for my new tank. i need some good advise. thanks!
