I set this tank up a week ago using 1/2 cleaned sand from my JBJ 12 all cultured rock. I had to swap out fast because I blew up my hood on the 12 gallon.
All water prams have been perfect, I'm checking every 2 days.
I've put my live stock, fish and corals in 6 days ago and everyone is happy....except me... I've got red slime alegy starting and little bubbles on several rock areas and diatoms starting.
I'm confident I'm not pulling out ANY waste. Im loosing my mind (and sleep) trying to fiquire out what I'm doing wrong. I have a lot of corals that I would really hate to lose.
I've got the manual and seem to have everything set up as required but the filter is NEVR dirty. I removed the carbon and installed 2 new softer better filter sponges and still nothing! It is in place as close to the intake s possible. I even added a full length filter sponger behind the media basket!
I installed a remora c MJ 1200 skimmer (used) that also appears installed correctly but it is only collecting a light green tea like substance.
And ideas suggestions would be very much appreciated!!
Please Please help!
