After struggling to control nutrients for a while, my nutrients have been steadily dropping to the point where I'm thinking I might want to do something about it. I have a 350 gallon system, it's about 9 months old. For nutrient export, I have a skimmer and algae scrubber. I also have a fleece roller. I'm doing 10%/week water changes through daily changes using a dosing pump. My nitrates have been dropping about 2% a week for the last month, phosphates have been dropping also, but not as dramatically.
I'm thinking I either want to do one or more of the following, or a combination, but I'm open to suggestions:
1) Feed more heavily
2) Cut back on water changes
3) Run the skimmer less
4) Run the algae scrubber less.
Thanks.
