			 for my 180 with medium bio-load 
		
	
		
		
		
		
			- 10% weekly water changes -dsb -macroalgae -bio pellets -skimming -and I have just started using brightwell aquatics macrobactor 7 with promising results. This keeps my phosphates at zero(hanna checker) and my nitrates at ~2 (salifert) I over feed my fish - but I really enjoy feeding them and its something no matter how hard I try - I always will do - so I pay a little extra for water changes/supplements- its worth it for me.
