Thanks for all the replies and tips. I try to clean the canister every 2 weeks and replace the media. I do have some bioballs in it, sounds like I should just try running it empty. Tap water tests ok.
I have the salinity at 1.025 and use a refractometer so I'm pretty sure it's accurate. I use Reef Crystals and don't really add any other supplements other than a vitamin that I mix with the food periodically. I used Coral Snow a couple of times but discovered that my Ca was too high as it was. I generally feed mysis and nori with some brine shrimp periodically and I use a frozen marine cube once a week.
I'll try emptying the canister and let you know what happens. Thanks.
