First off I just want to say that I'm new to R2R & I'll be starting my thread soon so details on my setup will be included there.
When I upgraded to my 65g 2 years ago I started having nitrate issues. I began vodka dosing, got everything under control and switched to a biopellet reactor. Everything was smooth with keeping NO3 under control until recently. It was time for me to clean the reactor and add more pellets.
Now for the past 2 months NO3 has been steady at 40ppm. I added more pellets when I noticed the NO3 wasn't going down. That was two weeks ago. This past Friday I added 1/4 cup more. I have a total of 2 cups of pellets. As of today my params are:
NO3 40ppm
Po4 .03
ALK 8.8
Cal 460
Mg 1420
My SPS are losing color and not extending polyps. I do not know what move to make now. I've been trying to research and can not find my next move. Please help. Any thoughts, questions or suggestions are appreciated.
