is your nitrate test kit any good? I am in Ridgecrest and have many salifert tests kits. also lots of spare tanks, pumps, powerheads, lights, etc.....hit me up if u ever need a loaner. I can tell you one thing you need 20 times water flow of your tank volume{minimum}. example....10 gallon tank = 200 gallon per minute flow. 50 gallon tank equals 1000 gallons per minute flow. this will severely help with nitrates. No dead spots. Keep that seaclone running. I actually used mine on a FOWLR tank of 150 gallons for over 3 years with success. BTW I saw you need chaeto.....I have some here in Ridgecrest I can lend u a very small amount.....I dont have much to spare at the moment...but it will get u started, and its good at lowering nitrates.
