I have a 46 gallon bow front which I am turning into a reef. Right now I only have 1 Frogspawn and 2 clowns, a flame angel, and 2 shrimp. I currently have a Hydor Koralia 3 setup giving me 850gph, but I would like to add more flow so that it is not a linear flow. Would adding another Koralia 3...
in terms of the other media I pretty much just took the whole thing of media and ran warm tap water through it. Hopefully I didn't ruin too much of the bacteria growth.
I think he was mostly concerned with removed the pads and only leaving some phosphate thing that I wasn't too sure about. But in the end he suggested just taking everything out and using it just for water flow till cycle was over. The problem is that on the Eheim 2213 the filter media is one big...
It was suggested to me that other than just doing just water changes to lower my nitrate level that I should have had removed all filter media from my Eheim 2213 canister filter during the cycle process because it will collect the massive amount of dirt and nitrogen from my initial cycle. Does...

Could my nitrates be high because the intake to my canister filter is in the back right corner of my tank near my powerhead and heater that may cause a slightly slower water flow spot?

I hit 0 on Ammonia and Nitrite after a little over 2 weeks, but my Nitrate has gone up to the 40-80 range for the last several days (can't tell difference on API Saltwater Master Test Kit). I even did a 30% water change and cleaned out my filter and it was still at this range. My tank setup is...
