So I've had my 72g fluval profile 1000 set up for a year now and I'm having a little trouble with diatom or possibly some cyno. I've gotten it to go away twice now by cutting the light cycle and a bunch water changes but it takes forever and I'm thinking I just need better filtration. Here are my issues... The fluval set up came with a fluval 305 which I think is rated up to 70 gallons but I don't think it's up to the task... Does anyone think an fx5 would be way too powerful for my tank or should I make the jump? I'd love to switch to a sump but it has this really lame support board in the middle of the base and there just isn't enough room so I'm going to stick with a nice canister. I also have a reef octopus HOB skimmer that hasn't been producing much lately I think it needs to be taken apart and cleaned... Any suggestions?
