Now if we incorporate good husbandry we cant lose. Pay the nitrifying bacteria prevailing wage (supplying ammonia) our factory is what we want.
Like I said.....

You must not have caught the last part. Thanks.

My friend the nitrate factory rant was not directed at you, as obviously you understand the need for good husbandry. I feel that there is just to many new hobbyists that shy away from them thinking that somehow the bioballs themselves produce nitrates

OH and why...hmmmm...IDK
Take out the rubble its a waste of space. Time to look into a sand Sifting crew to deep your sand bed aerated go with Cerith Snails. put a mark on your refug/sump at your water level so you know when to top off and how much to add
