Yea just play with it a bit, tweak it and go from their. The big thing is that the skimmer is starting to perform better and it will get better within another week or 2.

If i were you, id grab another 30 40 pounds of live rock and throw some carbon and gfo in the canister filterI am running a 55 gallon long aquarium, with a coralife t5 dual light fixture, fluval 306 canister filter, and a single aqueon power head I believe 900gph with no wave maker attached. my tank is riddled with diatoms and green algae all over the glass and sand. been using tap water for my water changes/top off but am reverting back to rodi water. the algae still grows everywhere regardless but the diatoms slow down after using rodi. the green algae is hard to scrape off it's like coralline algae but it's not. not sure what kind of sand I am using nor the levels.
would like to turn this already set up tank around so it looks crystal clear and fish are healthier any help/products I should buy. my stock is currently 1 ocelaris clown, 1 blue tang, 1 green spotted puffer which I converted to salt water, and 1 trigger. the trigger is probably the most aggressive but they fairly get along. I live in Hawaii so I stock wise will be hard due to laws but I will try find legal species if needed like inverts. I do not have a sump on this tank nor anything to hold my fish to make a sump.
all the info I could get/tips is appreciated.
he already did that part, also his tank is not very wide, so he only has the ability to go upwardsIf i were you, id grab another 30 40 pounds of live rock and throw some carbon and gfo in the canister filter
i don't think anyone here sells gfo but when i get more money i will buy some in bulk online. also is it natural for my base rock to be growing diatoms on them? i usually see this happen when people cycle their tanks but wonder if it ever goes away when parameters are fixed on it's own without scrubbing the rocksSorryi just read tgrew the thread, yea make sure you use rodi water and you shouldnt run i to issues, try to getyour hands on gfo if you could
Its fine you dont have to scrub em if ypu dont want to, sometimes diatoms appear and leave . only thing brown youll have to worry about is dino nd cyano. Im pretty sure if you tighten the screw on a hob skimmer it raises the waterleveli don't think anyone here sells gfo but when i get more money i will buy some in bulk online. also is it natural for my base rock to be growing diatoms on them? i usually see this happen when people cycle their tanks but wonder if it ever goes away when parameters are fixed on it's own without scrubbing the rocks
