Since I got rid of the 6-line, I haven't been feeding the frag tank. There's only an emerald crab and a couple snails in there now. I'm fighting a hair algae problem and running carbon 24/7 in my little Rapids canister. Changing the carbon every 3 days and rinsing the media bag to avoid nitrate build up. I could probably just run it for a week at a time and rely on the DSB and cheato in the refugium to handle any nitrates. But I'm trying to get things "sterile" in there and get rid of the hair algae, so will continue to change and rinse the canister every 3 days.
Skimmer action has decreased quite a bit in the last few weeks. Not a lot of dissolved organics in the tank anymore. I think I got rid of the 6-line about 3 or 4 weeks ago. I don't want to feed the hair algae so I'm trying to reduce the nutrient levels as low as I can get them. Should I just continue with regular water changes for now?
As long as I do my weekly water changes my corals won't starve, will they?
