Aquarium Advice Addict
I've forgotten... and too lazy to search, but what is the recommendation for a saltwater reef/fish tank? I'm about to plan on a 1270 return pump on a 155g.
Sounds like more money - - of course.

Check for excessive PO4, nitrates, and watch for temperature fluctuations. Also be sure not to over-feed the tank and use RO/DI water. Distributing the flow evenly throughout the entire tank will help to eliminate any "dead spots" ie. behind rock work, low in the tank, etc. where cyano tends to show up/thrive. HTHgot a nice bit of cyano for a while even with close to 20x turnover
