I am currently using the components 1,2,3. Salt is currently reef crystals. I have a bit of algea on the sandbed, not much and some areas of back wall. I have LEDs, protien skimmer. Thinking of changing salt to reef salt, and carbon and phosphate remover. Only 3 fish at the moment, will probably add 4 more down the line. What would you suggest i go with?

What kind of LEDs are you running? Do you have coraline algae growing in your tank?

Running the mars aqua, yes back wall is full of coralline algae.

Strange, usually coraline growth leads to coral growth. Your softies and LPS like the nitrates do you test for phosphates?
