Hi Sharon.
I'm design based on the overflow configuration used and also how i have the compartment for the sump tank.
As for the lights, I'm not using any selling from LFS or off-the-shelves, I do my own LED lighting.

Bro this might mean the tank has not reach maturity there is not enough bacteria buildup to consume the no3 fast enough before the algae consume. Might be you introduce too much nutrients too fast into the tank. You can either wait it out but also depends case to case basis on your tank. Do you have a place to house bacteria? Is your skimmer working well now? Sent from my SM-N915G using Tapatalk
I have the same experience with ich. From my understanding from other reefers just opinions that removing fishes with ich is dangerous. They got ich partly because of stress bringing them out will increase stress. The internet always say to bring it out and use copper to cure but maybe i just put in qurantine tank for too short only about 2 weeks. After i put back to main tank, it just died the next day happen to 3 fishes of mine. They suggested me to buy food n drip garlic into food to build up the fish immune against the ich. If there is ich in main tank this probably means there is already ich in the tank very hard to remove all. My latest blue tang has ich the next day i intro to my main tank and i just use the above method to build its immune. Now the fish with me for few weeks with ich subsidies after one week n now no more ich. Hope it helps. Sent from my SM-N915G using Tapatalk
