I have a 55 gallon tank.
Only filtration is !/3 tank well established live rock,1 inch live sand, cpr backpack skimmer with plastic curlyques as media. I use a rio 1100 380gph powerhead for circulation.
I always have nitrate problem, no other real issues that are a constant.
1 small puple queen anthia (all fins and tail missing) still does great.
1 tomato clown
1 blue hippo tang
1 yellow tang
1 or two convict blenny (they are always under the sand or rocks)
1 choco chip star
1 black brittle star
1 green sea star
1 sand sifting star
4 peppermint shrimp
several blue and red hermits
assorted snails cerith and astro
lots of red and blue bristle worms
Is my tank too full of stuff? I thought a full tank would have amonia problems. Does the nitrate issue mean my filtartion is adequate?
