    When I stopped using my canister filter over a year ago my nitrates went from 40 to 20 overnight then after I added more LR then went to 0. I believe having enough LR is key to nitrate removal

    Why is it not recommended to put Chemi-Pure in a skimmer? I noticed the CPR bakpak has a decent size chamber for the return, and it looks like chemi-pure with fit snug right in there. That is also the place i keep my heater.
