just to make sure

i was reading other post about gha and the brown stuff i know my no3 and po4 are high my plan is to cut down the bio load will this help or am i off track with solving the problem?

 

That and cutting back on what you feed. Clean all equipment thoroughly and often. Possibly improve flow through your live rock. Blow off the rock to get rid of any detritus that has built up. Vacuum detritus in and on sand bed.

 

so i just did a test to see where im at today po4 looks to be a 0 but the no3 turned some purple color not on the chart any ideas?

 

Large water change and a real good cleaning. What kind of filter material do you use?

 

as for the food there is never vary much the fish dont eat

 

What size tank and what are the fish you have? Filtering and flow also.

 

Fish will eat all they can get for the most part. If the food isn't all gone in 2-3 minutes it is too much.

 

the filter is like one of the cartrage things you see in a hob filter with the blue o scruber looking stuff its a eclipse 12 and i have t-5s in it and 2 small power heads but more and more i think i just need to toss it and start over

 

it 12g pair of clowns and fire fish way to much i know trying to find a new home for the clows high flow at the top and med at the bottom

 

also i have about 10-12lbs of rock and 10lbs of sand all live by now im sure
