Ok so I'm newish to reef tanks. I have a 57 gallon column tank. Recently changed to the Current USA loop system. I'm running dual led and 2 - 660 gph wave pumps. I also have a 3rd wave pump that is 450 gph. My filter is a Cascade 1000 doing 227 gph. Now for tank inhabitants.
I have 2 - rockfire anenomes, 1 bubble tip and a large carpet. I have 1 Clarki clowns, large wrasse, snowflake eel, moray eel and recently a file fish to try and get rid of Aiptasia (epic fail). Next Sally light foot crab, pom pom crab, cleaner shrimp, 3-sexy anemone shrimp and a sand sifting starfis . For corals I have xenia, a dunkin, a star polyp, small zoa colony, mushrooms , a green hammer and a frog spawn. Ok now the questions.
1. Would adding a second canister filter for strictly biological media be beneficial?
2. Do I have enough flow with about 1900 gph?
3. Best recommendation to get rid of aiptasia
