@ReefJonas
can you post a full tank shot of your reef so we can finish up that troubleshoot, it won't take long. where you surface area exists in the system and the ratio compared to bioload will be evident in pics and it will not take long to chart out what your filter is doing when you add fish, feed a little more/typical reef changes we do...from a tank pic not a test reading.
we will be able to tell if not tracking out nitrite puts your system at risk from that tank picture showing the operating ratios for your biofilter. the actions you and I were discussing get shored up by that picture, that's what we use in non-nitrite tracking threads to turn out happy reef tanks. you may not agree with the assessment but I'd like to be able to add it to show how we do business in work threads that use other people's reef tanks and follow up to guide procedure. predictions are made about the system based on tank pictures, then months and years later we can follow up on actions taken.
the first detail noted will be whether or not a huge stack of rocks exists right in the middle of the current flow in the display
I want to be able to show by your picture updates how predictable biofilters will be even if we don't consider measurements posted. you can let me know if the predictions do not pan out.
