Thanks everyone, I have a skimmer in the sump. with an overflow up top. I'm kind of new to all this and this may be dumb but is a suface skimmer the same? I have used a peice of filter materal in a net to get rid of some of it but would like to fix what is causing it, this isn't the first time it has gotten this bad. You may remember the other day I was the one with Bad Problem thread with the nitrates through the roof at 160+. I have made several water changes in the last few days, probably more than I should, but the nitrate doesn't seem to have moved from the 160+. Think this might have somthing to do with that and any suggestions other than take it all apart to get the nitrates down.
