bdare----> I'm only using my fluval 205 and live rock as filtration. I change the reef carbon every 3 weeks, leave in the bio max, and I've added ammonia remover and phosphate a few times but take it out. Should I add pre-filter or change sponges? I don't wash them I know its gotta build up the essential bacteria.
I'm using di-water for water changes and adding salt mix. I usually have to add a pH buffer to my tank to raise it back up to 8.0-8.2, is that normal?
I know you said your concerned about my ammonia and nitrites, are my nitrates a issue at 50ppm?
