I need to work on the overall flow of my tank to get more of the water mass moving around the tank. My nitrates are way low. Going to switch from a GFO reactor to Lanthanum for managing phosphate. Make gradual adjustments and monitor results. I gave him a break down of my tank set up along with some issues I have had and he helped provide some ideas about how to improve things.
