Hey guys, I have a 55 gallon tank and sump with another 15+ gallons, Octopus sss1000 skimmer, JNS Alpha biopellet reactor, 7" filter sock, IM desktop GFO reactor.
I cannot get my nitrates below 20ppm and Phosphate jumps around between .03 to .15 at times when in need of new GFO. I am at the manufacturers suggested amount of 3ml per gallon roughly. I have 150ml in my reactor with a fast tumble as there is no flow control.
I have been running like this for almost a year. I have experienced stn/rtn on some sps during this time and I'm stumped.
Thoughts on increasing the amount of bio pellets?
Thanks in advance.
