    Update: Looming dino issue? Tank finished cycling No2->No3, added an ATO and started using RO/DI top off, put in probably too much macroalgae, mainly codium and a range of graciliaria two days ago hoping to get some life this weekend. Most seemed pretty healthy apart from some white tips at...

    I was under the impression that large quantities of macroalgae can avoid need for a skimmer and may even need NO3 and PO4 dosing, especially if I keep bioload to one fish. Do you think that’ll be a big issue? Planning on an ATO. Thank you for the advice!

I’m a total newbie so any tips are greatly appreciated. Decided to skip FW since it just doesn’t do it for me but...
