so my bare bottom mixed reef 40B has been established for more than a year now. I have the Evergrow LED about 12inches above the water level, run a Reef Octopus BH1000 skimme and Two Little Fishies phosban 150 loaded with GFO proportion to the 40gal volume. The powerheads that i use are WP25 and a Koralia 750 to turn over the water. reef inhabitants includes 2 clowns, 1 lawnmower blenny, 1 neon blue goby, 1 yellow corris wrasse, 3 rose bubble tip nem that originally came from a single nem, a couple snails and hermit crabs as CUC. i feed twice a day through the Eheim feeder and everything is eaten within minutes so there's no excess food floating around. phosphate/nitrate = 0ppm using Hanna checker.
I was wondering how often you guys scrap your DT glass for diatom? it seems to me that i need to do at least once every 2-3 days to get rid of patches of diatom or i can do a once weekly top-bottom cleaning of all sides of the glass.
