    RAIN2 Advise

    Hey gang.

    I have upgraded to a 92 gallon corner saltwater tank 1 month ago. I kept the live rock from my old setup (4 years old), and put in 60 pounds of new live sand. Currently, residents are 3 anthias, 1 flame angel, 1 lawnmower blenny, and 1 longnose hawkfish.

    I’m trying to run it with only a RAIN2 in the sump, which I purchased in March – no other mechanical filtration. Currently running 2 of the LEDs, 20 hours a day. I feed 1 cube of frozen food and about 1 gram of pellets daily. I am cleaning the screen weekly with a plastic scrapper, getting about 5 grams of growth after a week, pic attached.

    I have never really gotten the algae growth I expected in the RAIN2 and am starting to see hair in the main display. A lot of the algae is slimy red/orange as opposed to hairy/stringy green algae. Any ideas/advise on getting the system tuned up?

    Thanks in advance!
