Default What way should I go...

So here is my problem Canreefer's. I just tested my tank for Nitrates and they are at 25PPM or alittle less, but pretty much they are sitting around 25. I run a BB tank with a Euro reef RC250, algae in my sump lite by a 175 ushio 10K bulb that is on for 14 hrs pre day. I hardly feed and I used Carbon and I suck out the crap that pools in the corner of the tank and I'm replacing with 5 gallons of frsh SW everytime. Monthy I'm doing 35 gal to.

I know that 35 gals isn't lots on my system where i have a display of 170 + 75 gal sump 40 of that is the aglae growning.

So here is the next step
1. do 30 % waterchanges every month
2. buy another Ozone unit again, since I traded my other one off
3. get a Sulphur reactor for the tank.

I'm kinda at a loss here I loosing SPs corals from somthing, but don't know what. Myself and Doug were talking and he thinks that the corals wouldn't be dying from just the nitrates. But they don't like lots of Nitrates..


your thoughts

You don't know as much as you think.
