BOTH. I would get rid of the bio-balls. I have replaced mine with LR. I also run a skimmer in my CPR sump. If I had no choice I'd go with skimmer.
Have you ever gotten it to skim? FOAMY bubbles into collection cup?
To help with your nitrates. How long has your tank been running? How often do you feed? How many other critters do you have? What's the skinny on...
I had a hell of a time posting pics on this site. Since, ARGAN was so nice to help me over and over again I'll do my best to help you. I use...
Looks like beneficial calcerous algae to me. Congrats! You'll want to start seeing it grow on your glass or equipment. Start looking on powerheads or...
After 2 gallon water change Calcium 600 (down 50) and kh no change within an hour of water change.
I'm going for the doubler approach. I just did a 2 gallon water change. I figure I'll test in about 30 minutes to an hour. I use a 5 gallon water...

I don't have a mag. test kit ,but, I'm sure I'll be prompted to get one. I already planned on getting one this weekend.
55 gal tank with fuge & sump. Approx. 75 gallons of water total. salinity 1.022 ammonia-0 nitrite-0 nitrate-0-2.5 Ph 8.4 kh 7 phosphate 0-0.1 ca-650
Thanks LUNA. I am opting for 1-2 also. I have been trying to keep kh stabilized and not adding ca supplements but, that hasn't seemed to work yet....
Nice bar. I'll take a BUSHMILLS on ice.
The only thing I could find is it looks to be one of the larvae stages of some type of pod. Probably beneficial to your tank but, doomed from the...
I've got those in both my tanks and fuge also. I don't know what they are. I'm getting all of my reading material out right now. I've always wondered...
Yes. I watched some videos on the internet. One of the videos I saw the guy just hacked at them randomly(polyps stem etc.) .
