I was just wondering what the best way to keep nitrates low is other than water changes. I know that this occurs within lr but will this be enough. I am about to set up a tank and am just waiting for the sump from the lfs. My tank is going to be drilled and fitted with a weir connecting the tank to the sump. There i will have a turboflotor multi sl skimmer which is rated for a 500-1000L tank, my tank is 330L. A fluidised bed filter and a ecoaqualizer 150. I will have 40 KG of lr and my substrate is going to be gravel. I would like to keep 1 yellow tang, 1 regal tang, 2 common clown fish and a picaso which will go in last after everything else. I was going to have a cleaner shrimp, urchin, brittle star, couple of hermits and some snails. I would like to keep some mushroom corals in my tank. I know what you are going to say about the trigger but i am going to give it a go and put a juve picasso in at the very end and try my best to keep it well fed. I have seen in this guys house that he had a tank which was over stocked with fish as it was only 50 gallon and he had 1 cleaner shrimp, 1 french angel, 2 maroon clowns,1 yellow tang, 1 regal tang,1 flame angel, and a fish that i did not know, he also had an anenome in there, he only had flouresent tube lighting of normal output and said that his tank was doing fine and he had the tank like this for nearly 1 year. I would like an anenome but i thought they were intolerant of higher levels of fish waste that would be prasent in the water, especially in that guys tank! Any opinions welcome thanks.
