After doing a search as Chuck suggested, it sounds like this may be a function of new tank syndrome (my tank is about 8 months). The lights are new (bithday present Nov). No measurable phosphate. The Fluval has carbon and the little plastic crosses for the bacteria to live in.
I am getting some mixed messages regarding using the Fluval canister filter. I think I will plan to add more live rock and move away from the canister. Currently I have about 100 lbs of LR so maybe another 50 lbs or so.
Thanks for all the feedback.
