I just read your 1st post and you said that you were going to remove all of the bioballs? Did you do that yet? if not DO NOT do it. You will crash the tank if you take them out all at the same time.

Thanks for the help everyone,

I already removed all the bio-balls.

Water changes consisted of 5 gallons every other week. Last week I did a ten gallon water change and I'm scheduled to do another 10 gallons this Thursday.

Current tank readings (Hagen test kit)
temp = 77.2 degrees
ph = 8.05
Ammonia = 0 mg/L
Nitrite = 0.1 mg/L
Nitrate = 5 mg/L
Phosphate = 1 mg/L
Alkalinity =140 mg/L

I've been running HBH Activated Carbon for a week now.

I'm hoping once I add the phosban reactor this stuff will start clearing up.
