Is this an established tank?

Weird question, but do you have any cats?

Its been up since feb last year and yes my wifes but my sump is sealed and they cant get to the top i have thought about that already

Check out seachem matrix. Optimally you want to run it in a large reactor to minimize detritus, but you can also put it in a bag in your sump for additional biological filtration.

Marine pure blocks are another good option that are getting a lot of press right now. I bought one, but have not put it in my tank yet

^^ two good ways to add bio capacity. I use both.

 

[jesse alex ethier]

Im gonna try this. But should i trim some of these guys off

 

[PSU4ME]

It is a high bio load but if you wanted to try to keep them to you could try the above and pick up the water changes until you see if it is working or not. 200# of rock is a lot so in not sure how it will pan out

My seachem says i have trace and thats a couple kits and all say the same with the api ammonia also bit b chevked it and its all 0. so hmm

Cats? I have two cats. They only bothered the tank when they were kittens, batting at the glass. Never got on top or below and screwed with the water though.
