Any suggestions?

[Chrisrych]

I am new to saltwater but not new to aquariums. My tank has been running for a month, I have live rock, 4 crabs, two hang on filters, heater, three circulation fans. Any suggestions for me? How does the live rock placement look? There is room for fish behind the rock.

Welcome!

By 2 hang on filters... what are you using???

The tank is a 37g top fin, I'm using the 40g one that came with it and also another 30-40g aqueon

I am confused... are you using one of those black things that sucks water up through the black hose and into the black housing on the back?

If so... yank out the filters and get you a 2 dollar filter media bag at petco... fill it up with carbon/gfo... strain it... and throw that badboy in...

If you're into some serious diy... try mounting a small light to the top of the filter and dropping some macro algae in there...

Honestly if you don't have alot of livestock none of this will do you any good. Keeping that stinking filter clean will be a pain.

Try a mini skimmer.... I think they still have those CPR bakpaks... I don't know what they have nowadays... anyone else want to chime in and knock some sense into me please!?

The filters just hang on the back of the tank, they draw water up through a tube into the filter then it's pushed through a filter bag with carbon in it out back into the tank
