I have a 55g reef tank with no protien skimmer, refugium, or sump. It has been running for 4 months and I have noticed in the last couple weeks a build up of detritus on the surface of the water (I have a my powerheads near the surface to increase surface agitation). I know it's because I dont have a protien skimmer and I can't afford one at the current moment. There has been no spike in anything like ammonia, nitrite, or nitrate, however its starting to smell. The real question I'm asking is, is there anything I can to get rid of the detritus for a month or 2 until I can afford a good one. I did a 15% water change yesterday and that hasn't had an effect.
