Hey, Iain, I know it's been a while since you've posted about this, but
are you sure that your nitrate tests are good? You've mentioned both that
you have 0 nitrates, and that you have a trickle (wet/dry) filter... and
trickle filters are notorious nitrate factories...
Trickle filter is notorious nitrate factory but if he have ton of algae
growing like a forest, it absorb it and the nitrate test kit will not get
the correct reading. Actually, you do not need a test kit to see by your own
two eye-ball that your tank have nitrate.
