Ironically I just pulled my filter roller two weeks ago. Interestingly, my nitrates dropped a smidge while my phosphate has remained constant. I would have thought that both would have gone up noticeably. I’ve struggled with low nutrients all along with this hype based, bare bottom, dry rock, filter roller setup. My previous setup was a wet/dry bio ball with ceramic media instead of the plastic. No filter fleece, live Fiji rock, sand bed, with a small skimmer and power compact lighting for most it’s life and those old mechanical relay timers with the plastic pins to set on/off times. About 20 years, one move, and zero issues…This new tank, ugh…plenty of issues the first two years really. It’s been solid for awhile now though.
