I have a 4x4x2 tank. I run a ats sm100 copy which has looked after my n and p export very well. I dont really get great green, but water tests really good consitantly... I have been thinking of plugging in an old external cansiter filter to help with the detruis in the tank... now, why take out the food you say.. well i have decided to just fill this tank with fish, no corals and currently only has a about 30kg of live rock in it. I know i still have alot of organisms/ feeders in my tank my main goal is to try to clear the water up a bit.i have 20 odd fish that I want to populate this tank.... I guess what im asking, is my method of filtration helping or hindering the health of my tank. I run some carbon about once a month for a day.....is ther anything else I can do.....is it worth skimming to help with detrius/excess food in the tank not eating by the the fish....
your thoughts would be appreciated....
