so, to get ride of "dust"
1. Fill up your syphon
2. Arm left hand with turkey baster
3. Syphon and turkey baster at the same time with filters on
4. Let it for 10 minutes
5. Chane filter median
Works great for my tank

How many fish are in your tank? If you can squeeze in 30 to match OPs...see if your method will work then.

Are you related to a guy named Wayner?

To help reduce phos, etc. You can run chemipure elite, and you can try a polyfilter. It will change colors depending on what it pulls out. And I recommend a refugium with lots of good macro algaes to help too. I know you like a lot of fish, and if they were smaller it would probably be ok, but everyone here has told you 9 tangs is way to many. Pick out a couple favorites, and get rid of the others. And, I know I asked before, but have you tested your water (that you use for water changes) for phos, nitrates, etc. And is it RO/DI water or treated tap or well water? You can also introduce a lot of phos with the fish food.

i usualy feed frozen brin or mysis or blodd worms and i stir them 5 days in a huge glass so the water will ve crystal clear when i pour it in and i use algae sheet , pellets once a week and algae spinual flakes twice a week but they eat them in less than 4-5 mins .
Sorry, but I did not see where you addressed a refugium. But in this reply, what do you mean you stir frozen brine or mysis for 5 days? Also, flake food contains phos and ash, both will feed the algae.

I agree with luvmyreef...the food you mentioned is known for causing problems. I rinse my mysis shrimp in RO water before I feed it to the tanks, and never ever use pellets or flake foods.

i use pellets and flakes once a week , and i rinse my frozen food 5 times .

pellets are very good in terms of nutirition wise .

Pellets are not very nutritional. There are way too many preservatives, additives and extra's in pellets. The most nutritional foods are fresh/live seafood followed by frozen. Not all seafood or frozen foods are nutritious.

 

[smallreef]

its the same as the correlation to: as ramen is to food as pellets are to food.. but isnt it healthier to eat fruit/veg/meat just as fish eat seaweed/meaty seafood (depending on species of course)...
