Stop using a fuge for awhile and turn off the UV, skim less. Try that for awhile and see what numbers you get.

Or you can just dose nutrients, but that would be counterproductive with chaeto

Run your skimmer so you get aeration for your low ph problem, but either take the collection cup off, or run water level inside skimmer way low so you won?t collect. When you nitrates and phosphate start to come up, start collecting skimmate

I only run my skimmer for 6 hrs during the day. I have it setup thru apex to turn on and turn off
I does my tank nitrates using seachem flourish nitrogen (which is meant for planted tanks)then test nitrates 2 days after.fyi my nitrates are almost at 30 ppm..
If you dose nitrates go slow
