And how do I do that? My nitrates are consistently at 20 ppm. I cannot get them down to zero. I routinely do wc's. I have added some chaeto to my refugium, I am feeding as little as I feel comfortable doing... I don't know what else to do? I routinely check my nitrate, nitrite, ammonia and ph levels... and the calcium every once in awhile... but not the phosphates?? Perhaps I need to do that? I'm just not sure what I am doing wrong?? Will this red algae hurt my fish?

Thanks,
