For a little while I've had green algae and in some spots looks stringy but a reddish (off hob filter lip too) I cleaned the filter and did a water change. No algae was present in the filter so Whew! Green I'd not slimy and tried to pull off rocks but it's really on there lol. It's not out of control and all corals/fish are happy. I have a seaclone and I know they aren't great but it pulls gunk weekly. Should I remove the bio-wheels on 400?


I just started researching reactors, can I get away with a single mounted under the tank? Only thing I need room for is a maxijet in tank?

I can't find the media bag I had a few years ago. What's a good media bag/sock if no reactor? Can I use nylons? Lastly is it beat to place in the empty plastic media holder in the emperor?
