Tank specs: 55 gallon, Fluval 306, brackish (1.005), 1 juvenile Green Spotted Puffer.
So I'm looking for something to aid the filter due to massive waste production by my puffer. There's only him in there but by the time I get round to my weekly water change (25-30%), it looks like I've dumped half a bottle of flake food in there and it's all sunk to the bottom. Not to mention the brown algae.
Normally, I'd just do larger water changes but the salt cost is killing me. I'm looking for something to help with this, I can't even consider going more than a week without a water change at the minute — honestly the tank needs it bi-weekly by the looks of things. What should I add to help? Sponge filter, HOB, undergravel, etc.?
