    Tank has been running for about a year, feed every other day and 20% water change every 2 weeks. Skimmer is clean and works good pulls all kinds of nasty dark colored junk out of there. I have alot of coraline algae on my live rock its all a nice purple color. But I have alot of green slime on the sides of the tank
