just setup a 37 gallon tank 3 months ago. i have 25 pounds of tonga live rock and 20 pounds of arg. i have a yellow tang, a blue damsel and a clarkii clown. i also have 2 sand sifting snails and a sand sifting sea star. everything seems to be okay but the water has a yellow tint to it. i was just wondering if i had enough filtration. all i have is a magnum hang on tank canister filter with a bio wheel

Sounds like a dissolved organics problem.
Run some fresh carbon and do a 10% water change.
Do not use tap water. Mix and aeriate the new saltwater for 24-48 hours before use.
Continue to monitor ammonia, nitrite and nitrates and post them if possible
Welcome to the board.
