    Man those nitrates are high.. can we rule out test kit problems? What brand do you use? Did you take any water to your fish store to verify?

    [quote author=pdlman link=board=ASAP;num=1105831256;start=0#8 date=01/17/05 at 17:48:18]You said you removed most of the CC. What % does most consist of?[/quote]
    :-/ I removed about 50% of the CC, so about 50% is still in there. There is some that the hermits digg up in the front and there is still a bunch toward the back of the tank behind and under the live rock. This may be my problem. I cannot siphon the back of the tank without disturbing the LR setup. But, if I must move the LR, I might as well take out the CC. But won't this stress the fish and corals?
