Default Tank improvement advice wanted

No real problems. I think I have more problems with bad algae than I
should and slower coraline growth than I should. I thought maybe
increased flow would help get more detritus out of the main tank and
into the sump. More detritus into sump = more siphoned out when I do
water changes = less bad algae. I also had a pretty large mass snail die
off for no real reason. Like 6-8 died all in the same week. But, that
seems to happen from time to time.

No major upgrades planned, I was going to get a little feedback and see
if I really needed to make a big change. My gut feeling is not major
changes are needed.

Chemistries:

Nitrate, Nitrite, and Ammonia all zero.
Calcium around 550.
Ph 8.3
alkalinity 3.4

All have been this way since cycling.

Thanks,
Andy

looking to optimize anything I could. So, I was looking for a little
advice as far as what I should do first.


before I go to far with it

are you having any problems? any major planned upgrades?


and what does

-Tank chemistry has been stable
