my tank is a 29gal. i dont have phosphates, nitrites nitrates, or ammonia. I frequently do a water changes. I have live sand that used to have brown and red on it, i notice today it was mostly gone. I have 33 pounds of LR with crap all over it. I stared the tank with 1 65watt pc with a 50/50 bulb (daylight/actinic) 1 month ago, i added another pc lighting and have switched the bulbs. now i have 1 65 watt daylight(10k/67k) and one
actinic bulb(460mn). i had a bloom of diatoms that turned into red slime after a while. Now my LR is brown, slimey red, every color but purple. I have an overflow box and sump with bio balls and all that jazz. I have a clown, regal, goby,
star polyp covered rock, tree sponge, and 2 anemones that im thinking about getting rid of because they dont really get along with other corals(or so iver heard). every time i blow off the rocks with a turkey baster b4 a water change, i get and more debree flying all over the place ebery time. i used the chemiclean today with little faith in the product, and it says to wait 2 days so i have to look at things again on tues. I will absolutely anything to get my tank the way i want it: clean sand, no crap on the rocks, just coraline and friends, litlle purple on the glass, you no. i dont plan to do n e thing further with the tank except remove the anemons until the problem is under control. So, my problem is as follows: Red slime, crap covered/dirty rock, ec sess debree, cant spell, father never hugged me, very little coraline in the tank, and i think thats it.
