So I'm kinda new to having an aquarium. This is my first tank, set it up March 2016. I have a hard time keeping corals bright and colorful. Had a handful of fish die. I'd like to try and figure out everything I'm doing wrong so I can make the proper changes the have the tank I dream of!
I test my water every other weekend with water changes every 2-3 weeks. I use tap water with a concentrated conditioner. I'd like to get an RO DI system, which will be my next big purchase towards the tank.
I have a small 2 section sump with bio balls on 1 side and a in tank sump with my return pump on the other side (which I feel creates lots of bubbles to the main display).
I have a recent problem with red algae that started a month or 2 ago. Also, about a month ago I have 3 fish die in a 2 week span (a foxface, kohl tang, and a flame angel)
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. I know I'm new and everything has been a work in progress, but feel I might be doing some things wrong and not even aware of it.
Thanks for the help!
