Hi everyone. I've been wondering if you'd should be my next step with my tank. After it finished cycling I introduced 2 clowns which are still working it out but I'm ok with that. After some time the tank had a lot of diatoms and calcium buildup. The diatoms I was able to control by turning the lights off. Weeks later (yesterday) I added a wave maker. Come today, the sand bed is brown again, along with the dry rock. So now I am wondering if enough bioload is being generated by the 2 clowns and their food so that I can introduce a CUC.
I have done some reading and I learned that there are some that maintain the sand bed, others the rocks, and other the tank walls. What I am not sure is:
1. If I need a CUC (29 gallon tank)
2. If so, what should I start with
3. If perhaps I need to do a better control with the water parameters to help with this as well.
I attached is a picture of how the tank looks
