    I have the fluval M90 and it was a great entry point into the hobby, but to be honest you did the right thing in my opinion. I am constantly not trusting the equipment and thinking about replacing it. Aka the light is annoying and manual. The protein skimmer is not producing already thinking...

    Anybody have a good story about beating Cyanobacteria

    If I had to guess over feeding as a newbie lead to a build up of nutrients. Plus the tank is maturing. I have cut back the feeding and might need to do more. Lighting and skimmer is a concern, because that is the hardest spot to get up to speed. The light and skimmer comes with the unit...
