Nitrates questions

I am having high nitrates problem and algae i think its because i have to many fish so i am going to take them and put them all in a bigger tank if i just let the tank sit for a couple weeks with only live rock crabs and snails should all the problems go away

 

How big of a tank, and how many fish? Are you doing regular water changes? Do you have a skimmer?...a lot can be going on to give you high nitrates.

 

NEED ALOT MORE INFO
size of tank
filters/protein skimmer
sump
fuge
livestock
substrate
rock
parameters
WHAT TYPE OF WATER DO YOU USE
etc

 

Its a 29g biocube two triggers i know there not supposed to be in a tank that small but im moving them to a 125 i got them when i was new to hobby didnt know, i have about 30 pounds of live rock i do water changes about twice a month with rodi water and about 3inch sugar fine sand bed and no skimmer

 

lights?
parameters/levels?
size of the triggers?
feeding schedule?

 

The triggers will definitely out grow that tank. How large are they right now and what are your nitrates at?

 

I have stock lighting with one led strip and the triggers are pretty small maybe 2" each i feed them flakes and silversides i usually switch it up and shrimp sometime

 

And my nitrates are 80-100 everything else is good

 

I would say a skimmer with Triggers is the closest thing to a necessity you can have. Do you have a sump with Chaeto/Macro algae? I would also try running some bio pellets and step up the water changes to weekly. Do this for a month and see if it helps

 

i'd get some water ready for a water change!
