Yea... i was trying but the guy at the lfs told my dad we didn't need such an expensive device. I was ready to give that guy a beating, hehe. My water is changing
Ammonia 0
Nitrite .1
Nitrate 10
Phosphate 1
PH 8.4
All the inverts and my clowns are doing fine tho. The water is cloudy somehow
. The front glass keeps forming film of slimmy/greenish algae daily. It's weird that when i clean the glass with a magnet brush, the algae grow back in a few hours, but when the snails eat the algae on the glass, it takes days for it to grow back. Mayb the snails eat the roots that the brush cant brush off?
I've change my light cycle to:
8am - 5pm: 65W actinic + moonlight
5pm - 8pm: 65W actinic + moonlight + 65W 10,000k
8pm - 8am: moonlight
I keep the moonlight on b/c i heard algae doesn't like the actinic spectum. Plus when i tried to give the tank complete black out at night, my clownsfishes freaked out and bumped into things.
I also reduced feeding to once every two days.
Any other procedure should be care out to help my tank out? Thank you guys so much
