Yeah canister filters can become nitrate factories, keep it clean. Whats your maintenance schedule?

I have a yellow tang, powder brown tang, blue tang, 2 humbugs, blue velvet damsel, flame angel, ocalris clown, clown goby, yello goby, and green goby. 4 hermit crabs, bubble tip annenome and bout 10 soft corals.

I do weekly water changes, and add my supliments accordingly.

i aslo have quite abit of brown alge on the live rock. i dont use ro water to do top ups the phosphate is about .25ppm. a slight blue color.

its a 200l tank not sure how much in gallons.

200 liters is only 52 gallons.The tangs can't be kept in a tank that small for long they will quickly out grow it if they haven't already.
