    Bad tank week...

    Treated tank with red slime remover 3 weeks ago. That was a success. Algae wasn't that bad. Made my HOB ReefOcto skimmer go CRAZY so I shut it down. Tried again but still going crazy. Did 3 RO/DI water changes this past 2 weeks (20%). NOW, I have a dark yellow algae bloom in my tank. Making...

    H.O.B. Skimmer advice needed.

    I've looked at every HOB skimmer available online and can't "pull the trigger" to buy one! I have a 90 gal with 3 inch live sandbed. No live rock, a lot of dead rock, and 7 fish. Wet/dry filter, no sump. Water tests have been close to perfect. I want sparkling water and not just clear clean...
