Oh well, I never had any problem with nitrates before, I even had less rock than now and it was all base rock LOL, my problems started when I decided to go away for long vacations.
I even saw tanks with less rock than mine, like the japanese tanks, they have the minimal ammount of LR and I really ike the Minimalist aquascape and the open look, well in the future everything will be cover with corals, I may add some more LR but I'm not sure about it.

I checked my Nitrates and they're at 25ppm
Phosphates 0.05ppm
