I have had a 30g reef setup for a bit over a year. I use a CPR BakPak2 as
the only filtration. In the past month it has gone from producing 1/2
skimmer cup a day to almost nothing. The RIO is regularly cleaned and
producing the same level of bubbles as it always has. Is my tank finally
perfectly balanced where it is so efficient skimming is not needed ;)?
About 3 months ago I added more live rock from a mere 20lbs (now up to
~50lbs) and increased the sand bed from 3" to about 4" (added live sand from
another tank). After these additions I got a brief algae bloom that has
passed. All of my parameters remain steady. The tank has primarily soft
corals, 2 clowns and some red macroalgae.
