Its possible theres excessive nutrients thought my cal, alk, phosphate , hardness are all ideal... My Nitrate is the only thing elevated at I think 40 PPM and havent tested since I did a partial water change on Tuesday night. I am planning on taking out the bio balls today or tomorrow (slowly) and switching it to live rock. I should have enough movement to avoid the detritus but thats a possibility. Have 1200 gph, 750 gph, 250 in rear power heads and have a sump pulling 400ishgph and a hob backup filter doing 300gal.... so thats 2500-3000 gal a hour on a 65gal tank.
