Hi,
I've been using a Seachem Tidal 75 HOB filter for about 1.5 yrs on my mixed reef. No real problems until recently and I remembered I also have a Seachem Tidal 35 that I could use. My tank tends to build up nitrates fast because I feed 1 brine shrimp cube a day. Stocking list for fish is: 2 clownfish, baby File fish, baby sailfin Tang, 2 Pajama Cardinals ( which I'm going to rehome), and a Mandarin Dragonet.
I change 25% to a 1/3 of the water weekly to try to keep my nitrates in check because I've lost 4 Torches, a Hollywood Stunner, and Raja Rampage chalice in the past month. They all just receded slowly and died. The other Chalices and Torches look fine. Actually all the other corals look fine and have been growing. Maybe I'm over reacting, but if it won't hurt to over filter then I'd like to explore that.
My question is should I use them both or should I just get the Tidal 110 or do a Canister filter as I've noticed they are for people like me who doesn't have space for a sump?
