Hi guys.
This is my first post on this forum...what a great group you all are.
I have a 30 gallon salt tank. Its about 4 months old it has 6 fish largest a flame angel the smallest is a dwarf angel. It has about 5 snails 2 are large 3 tiny, 2 small hermit crabs, 1 green crab and a banded shrimp. I have a few polp plants and 2 encroaching cup type things?
Im running a 250 stealth heater at 78'
350 penguin BioWheel. i use 4 filter pads and change every 3 weeks.
I have a power head blowing low across my plants and waterfan thing stirring up the top water. (seems like good circulation)
Im running 4 h5 lights 2 antic and 2- 10k
I dont test my own water. I have a great fish store that does it for me!
since it has been completely cycled, my levels are always good. i dont know the numbers sorry. My salt is just below 1.04, and my fish are doing great. lots of corraline is growing on rocks and glass.
I feed these guys the half Spiro/brine mix and half PE missis (SP?) im thinking about ditching the PE. Its seems to cloud my tank.
Im unhappy with my water clarity. It never seems to be as clear as I would like. (slightly cloudy) My question is whats the best approch to improve water clarity??
Im thinking I might add or swap to a canister fiter. Another possiblity is to get a protien skimmer. What do you folks think would be the best addition or replacement move for my tanks health and clarity?
I welcome any information or additional questions and greatly appreciate the input.
If you have recomendations that would be great
P.S. feeding? how much and how often?
Thanks , God bless
