Before I post the questions here are the tank specs:
30 Gallon Long - no protein skimmer - no sump
Modded AC70 with surface skimmer - (contains chaeto, chemi-pure elite, purigen and filter floss)
Lighting: T5HO - 2 x 39watt - 10k and actinic bulbs
Flow: Koralia 1 and Koralia Nano
Live stock: Cinammon clown, clown goby, spotted shrimp goby, green chromis and 6 line
CUC: 30 dwarf cerith snails, 7 nassarius snails, 10 misc small hermits.
Coral: Softies, LPS and SPS
Water Parameters:
Ammo 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 5-10
Calcium 440
alk and mag - untested
Question 1 - I don't normally use a turkey baster to clean off my rocks. I did some tank cleaning today and a TON of crap came off my rocks.
How often should I clean the rocks? Is it normal for a lot of junk to come off them?
Question 2 - Is 12 hours of 10k and actinic too much?
Question 3 - Despite my use of filter floss I am still seeing a lot of fine particles in my water. The water is clear but you can see lots of particles still in the water. Any ideas?
