I'm saying that in jest above his tank was just like this.

there's a certain way you can clean a reef tank like that above and make it truly shine, want to?

Seems like you are chasing things and adding things based on poor test kits. You are doing too much.

po4 remover but sounds like API kit? chemi clean???? for?

You said your po4 was high but then next post you said hardly above 0?

Add a small UV if you want and get some better test kits. Hannah high range nitrate and low range po4 are good ones. If you are not going to get good test kits then don't chase bad ones.

Hi guys ive had my reef tank for about 7 months and have been doing weekly 5 gallon water changes on my 40 gallon tank. I have been keeping up to date with replacing sponges/carbon/etc. My tank looks completely cloudy and my walls will be filled with green algae maybe 4 hours after i scrape it all off. I just added phosguard into my media basket as i noticed the phosphate was a bit high. I just want my tank to look crystal clear and have not been able to achieve that since the beginning of joining this hobby.

All of my tests as far as Ammonia/Nitrate/Nitrite come back as 0.

Try some carbon for one. You need to provide more info

the way I like to position that pic above is this

do you want that, for free, check yes or no/pass the note back it takes exactly 4 hours plus some meditation and rote muscle memory training shortly before execution of the old tank.

to choose anything shy of that above is to say no, I do not want a free ferrari even with all the taxes paid, truly takehome free. I do not want one. Ill take the e scooter with the wobbly wheel and a bunch of road crud caked on the battery terminals, well used. Ill squirt some wd40 on it
