Best way to reduce organics ?
"""Larger water changes"""
- Are you using RO water? What nitrate levels are being introduced into the tank to start with? """Activated Carbon""" - What filtration are you using? If canister and you're already using mechanical filtration then carbon will help with no major impact to waterborne organisms. You'll be needing to replace the carbon every couple of months to ensure that the contaminents aren't release (en-masse) back into the water. """Feed fish less""" - See the earlier post to your earlier query. How many fish do you have in the tank (reducing the number of fish may also help?), what is the water capacity? do you have live rock? How well established is the tank?
