Hi I'm having a problem with my nitrate check it this morning 60 not good yesterday I changed 10% of my water,this tank is 100 wet dry. I went to my friendly reef store aquarium gallery I wanted to get reed off the filter under the drip and add rock is this :bouncebox

That's the way to do it- SLOWLY remove bio media, add live rock.

Yep, bioballs are nitrAte factories... live rock is better since it has deep pores that help to grow the anearobic bacteria responsible for turning the nitrAtes into a harmless gas. Like Travis said.. remove the balls slowly so the nitrifying bacteria will have a chance to grow on other surfaces.
