Has the nitrate been increasing or decreasing since you set it back up? I asked you before if there was detritus settling in the rocks - that could be the cause. You don't need carbon dosing to achieve "0" nitrate and phosphate, so you're wise to be looking for the cause/difference between this tank and your other one.
