20 medium length questions

Yep, I'll seal with it. Lol

Ok so I think I have made a decision on a skimmer.... Since I don't have a sump yet.

Corallife for a 220 that has brackets for hanging out side of the tank.
Hopefully it will get my phosphate under control and the gha gone. Lol
Along with water changes

GHA gone? It will lurk in the shadows just waiting for you to slip up. Like that guy from Harry Potter. The bad guy with no nose. Held a nasty grudge. That guy.

Nope still have GHA right now, but it is decreasing a lot. I'm sure it will come roaring back the first chance it gets

You should release a whole bunch of critters to graze on it while it decreases. Once the algae shows sign of weakness, that's when I attack via manual and crab removal.

I have a bunch of micro hermits, and snails, but the hippo tang is useless for the algae lol. I've scrubbed and pulled it out, I've even used h2o2 which works really well.

I’m hoping my ATS will make GHA a nonissue. Also kinda hoping it makes my skimmer unnecessary so I can have more cryptic stuff in my sump.

we shall see

Once we know if we're moving or not, I plan to get a 220 or a little bit bigger and hopefully be able to have both tanks on sumps.

Lol, I swanny, I've got to pull rocks and soak them and see if it will help with the phosphate. They were dry rocks that we bought from amazon for saltwater aquariums. But I think they're releasing phosphate back into the water.
