Solid advices!
my N03 is currently 21ppm and I’d like to reduce it to 10-15 ppm so I’m carbon dosing with plans to add an algae scrubber.
I'm more partial to scrubbers. But not biased at all :)

I have a refugium with a decent size ball of chaeto spinning under a Tunze refuge light and I still have high nitrates. Tank has been up a little over a month had 0,0,0 on my readings now I have Nitrates at 20-40ppm. My chaeto hasnt grown even a little bit.
Is it a problem that my nitrates are at zero, if so do I need to feed more?

Yes I would increase feeding & keep monitoring it. It’s good to test for phosphates as well. You want to have some of both, don’t let either bottom out or it could cause issues 😊
Nitric acid will smash your pH as well .
