God knows how long it i'll take to come???? As my mv computer took 3 weeks and by the time i started the ND 400 up the balls had gone the other way putting more nitrates in than out!!!!! I Know its overstocked but love the fish to much as they all have different charactors!!! Also i'm using one of the aquaone uv cannister filters filled with L/R rubble and alfagrog as telboy advised me.

right dave ,your skimmer is excellent (got one myself on my new tank)until your nitrateducter is up and running efficiently.I would change at least 30%of your aquarium water to start, and then at least 25% of your aquarium water every 2to 3 days and reduce your feeding ( this will bring your nitrates down , keep monotoring you nitrates, you have got a lot of fish in their so dont expect miracles (but this should keep them alive) also if funds permit have a look at(
www.onlinequariumstore.com) aquamarine nitrate reducer this product will drop your nitrates to a safe level and keep it there for a couple of weeks, keep us informed. ps dont buy that tang.
