In the canister now I have
carbon
Prefilter fluval product
Filter floss

I have a sea hare
6 turbos
astrea
5 bubblebees
Cleaner shrimp
Shrimp is scavenger
Bumble Bees favor vermetid snails and some tube worms
The green film indicates not enough as they are not keeping up with it. Trying to get you to avoid development of green hair algae

Keep white light intensity down a little for the algae and add a pouch of chemiPure blue or elite to canister- Should last up to 3 months and reduce phos and sone no3.
Add a few snails such as:
Turbo grazer
astrea
cerith
nerite

8-10 carribean blue leg hermits which are tiny
Also have phos guard in there as well to drop the po4

I have a 75 gallon running on the a canister have been running good with all good numbers so far

mag 1350
Salitity 1.024
Calcium 400
Po4 0.
Alk 8.4
Ph 8.2
Nitrite 0.1-0.2
Ammonia 0
Nitrate 0
I replaced and cleaned carbon filter floss inside of the canister two days ago and did a 25% water change and for the last two days I have been having a slight cloudy tank

I am running a uv clarifier as well through the filter

Any suggestion or advice
Remove reservoir cup from skimmer and set it full blast, let the bubbles overflow which is good to aerate. If you have power heads, point them up towards surface and let’m rip. 10%-20% WC every other day.
