this tank is a couple years old at this point, it's been one of those tanks that has been hit with every problem, once I start getting it turned around something else goes wrong. I swear if I was a beginner in this hobby this is the tank that makes you quit, I probably would have given up already if I didn't have the experience level I do.
the high nitrates are not from general poor husbandry I will say, we had a long power outage a couple months ago and I had massive losses of corals and pretty much all the bug life, worms etc.
I'm going to give the carbon dosing more time, I have only been dosing about a week now and I know it can be slow starting out to see results. I just figured I'd ask now so I can formulate a plan and adjust as needed after a decent duration. I will say I have noticed an increase in skimmer production after only 7 days (today being day 7) tomorrow I double the dose.
