Filtering ?

[Ryanneece]

This is my little 30 gal I've had it up and running about 2yrs I just added a sun sun UV canister filter but kept my marine land bio wheel filter ? Is am I filtering it to much everything seems perfectly fine but I was just wondering

Looking good my friend.
A little diatom algae on the sand but tank looks good overall considered you running a HOB for two years.
Not a fan of a UV but if it makes you happy why not.
What's the wattage on the UV?

 

[Ryanneece]

9 watt made the tank crystal clear I mean it was clear but now it's super clear I know I have a little algea but I like to keep crabs so I don't sweat alittle algea

 

[Diesel]

You doing the right thing my friend.
Great little tank.
You have a anemone in there for your happy clowns to host?

 

[Ryanneece]

Nope had one when I first started and the clowns never touched it and it died real quick (had no idea how to feed it it died Felt like and idiot) the clowns are the first two fish I put in my tank 2 yes ago and they are happy and healthy they actually let me let them from time to time

 

[Ryanneece]

Pet them

 

[Diesel]

Your nem probably died due to the new tank.
Nems need a matured tank and after 2 years we can say that you fit in that category.
What light you hanging above it?

 

[Ryanneece]

Can't remember what the light is I know it cost me a lot of money lol

 

[Diesel]

Nems need good light.
Look into a RBT or Rainbow.
Now days you can find them locally for $40 or less.

Whats a rbt?

 

[Ryanneece]

My light has blue green and red along with a pile of white LEDs And turns to all blue also

 

[Diesel]

RBT, Rose Bubble Tip.
You got a LED unit over your tank, can you share what brand?

 

[Ryanneece]

The manufacturer is 999 mega

 

[Diesel]

That's unknown to me.
All what counts is that you're happy with it and does its job.

 

[Ryanneece]

It's been a great light found it on Amazon with great reviews 78 led with five colours white,blue,green,red,and pink and like I said also has an all blue setting which is very cool

 

[Ryanneece]
