Hi, I am setting up my first saltwater tank and I would love some help on a couple of things.I have 165 gallon tank,50 lbs live rock (plan to add more soon).I've had it set up for a few weeks.nitrates are high and Ikeep getting this rusty colored stuff(algae?) on glass,sand and rock. The tank was originally a freshwater tank.It has the bio-balls in the filter and i see alot of bad comments about those.Should I get rid of them? put something in their place?when should I put in snails and crabs? Thanks for any help you can give !
