    If both nitrates and phosphates are very high like yours seems to be, it’ll be good to do a bigger water change first. This will buy you some time to look into the other methods of nutrient export that JiaEn mentioned . 
     

    And actually, a source of nitrates and  phosphates (among other things), is our tap water. It is much more preferable to use ro/di water if you are not already using. 
     

    Good luck!

    Thx so much

    If there isn't much export,  it's natural nitrate and phosphate will rise. 

    How do you know there is good export?  From collecting a lot of dark skimmates,  or from algae growth in the refugium/scrubber

     

    Dosing bacteria can speed up the process,  but ultimately,  the nutrients must leave your system somehow. 

    So if my phosphate is high isit means need to do more water change ?
