I'm changing water way too much. But I keep a close eye on nitrates and
it needs it. I've been slowing down on the food but the nitrates are
still too high.

I have a blue trigger (not a blue throat) and he eats the small fish.
But otherwise very social. He eats out of my hand.

After some research it may be a female blue throat trigger. Looks like
one. If there is someone to fight with ~ the trigger will be there. She
killed a lobster (quite a sight) and two small fish.

and this fish is a part of your reef setup??

yeah, whats the problem? nitrates? the tank it's in is doing better with
nitrates. the tank I have the most problems with is a false back tank. i'm
thinking of adding a canister filter to the false back.

p.s. I use Instant Ocean salt mix.

I've checked instant ocean but it's prices are still high. After reading
some comments I think it's my problem is feeding. If was changing the water
every 9 months price wouldn't be an issue. I really don't see how I can keep
the nitrates at 0.
