Thanks. No water change or cleaning, Iīve a good clean up crew (enough nerites snails, clibanarius tricolor and pagurites cadenati hermit crabs and any turbo, snail, nassarius snails and 2 strombus, 2 holoturia atra) but the main cause of tank cleaning are its low nutrientes but maintaining the biological balance.

No carbon dosing required, my fish stock is very low (regal angel fish and 4 pair of gobies)...only live rock and low skimming.

I,ve never had a big growth of coraline algae in this tank...I think that itīs caused by strong lighting (12 T5 tubes lamp) and low nutrients.
It is curious as in the glasses (where the light does not come so directly) if there is a strong growth of coralline algae, although light pink. Every 2 months I step a blade to clean the rear glass for this reason.
