Reefing newb
Happy Holidays to all my new reefing friends!! I have asked a couple of questions in the past couple of months and I would like to thank all who have helped me out. I am fairly new to saltwater reefing. I've had my aquarium up and running for about 2 1/2 months. Currently I have a two chamber wet/dry sump with bio balls. I have a 55gal corner tank with a custom made wood cabinet. and due to size restraints under the cabinet I can't fit a very large filter under the cabinet and there is no room behind the cabinet. I thought i read on the forum that I could replace the bio balls in my current filter with a light, live rock and something I think is called chaeo and this would increase my filtration. If this is true, will my tank recycle after the change? I am still fighting a small problem with hair algae, so will this change help with this problem? I do RO/DI water changes (about 30%) every week. So far my water tests show no problems, no nitrates,ammonia,phosphates etc.
