I highly disagree with the flake food. Un-eatin portions will quickly dissolve into the water column becoming food for algae. Diatoms and red slime can also be a product of poor flow at the bottom of the tank. KZ (pohl's) makes a product called "coral snow" that helped make a huge dent in my diatoms. Do try and find either a salifert or elos test kit....or at the very least API....hagen kits are best left for the freshwater tank....or at the store.
