Might be to much food, only 2 fish in there ATM, feeding Frozen Mysis. And I think I am over feeding, but I cant break it into any smaller chunks and be able to hold it with feeding tweezers. So, only feeding once daily instead of twice

thx in advance
siphon the algae out and dont feed as much break the food into tiny pieces with knife or spoon do larger water changes i only feed my fish minimally the find other stuff to eat in the tank as well make sure your skimmer is working well do you use ro/di or tap water
