I've got a 125 gallon FOWLR with 29 gallon sump. Tank has been setup since September of last year and I constantly have diatoms. I can siphon it all off and it's back in a few days. In addition, I've started developing cyano on my rocks and in my refugium.
I'm running carbon, GFO and have macro in the refugium. I'm also only using RODI water. Only thing I can think of, is that I don't have enough flow in the tank or the sump. The DT has 3 generic 900 GPH (at least, advertised as such) power heads, plus the returns. Flow is very slow in the sump, so I need to do something to turn that up a notch, without blowing the sand out of the refugium.
Any suggestions? Was thinking about going with either a maxspect gyre or a couple of Jebaos.
Thanks in advance,
