    need help my 180 gal tank . my skimmer was not running right for about 8 months. i have a turbo floater 1000. the tank is 1 1/2 years old. since the skimmer wasnt working right the nutrients levels were high. since then i got the skimmer running right, and i keep doing water changes every 2 weeks about 25 gals. right now the params are nitrate 20-30 phosphate 0 ph 8.3 temp 82-83 . just wondering what it keeps feeding on ? and will it die off now that i got skimmer working? i also keep plucking it out all the time. equ. sump , turbo twist uv , eco-aqualizer, ( has any one tried one of these?) turbo floater 1000 , 2 250w mhs 4 antinics vho , also it is only on live rock here are some pic.
