Hey, I feed frozen food twice a day to my reef tank, the occasional live pods, phyto and spot feed reef roids. Never flake or pellet anymore.
I always wash the frozen food 2-3 times in tank water until it runs clear. The live food I drain before adding but don’t rinse.
I have to manually remove surface scum like twice a week. It’s not a major issue but if there’s any suggestions on something easy to fix I would appreciate.
It’s a nano tank, no room for an overflow and I’m sure surface agitation is adequate (photo provided). The set up is in the pics below but consists of inset filter compartments in this order, filter floss, skimmer, course and fine sponge, carbon, bacterial media, heater, ATO sensor and doser, return pump. Inside the tank is a jump gyre pointing at the surface on one side and at a rock on the other (for turbulence). Tho an anemone has taken to sitting right in the flow, very odd choice!
Appreciate any help
